Curculio
''Curculio'' is a genus of weevils belonging the family Curculionidae and subfamily Curculioninae. Members of the genus are commonly referred to as acorn weevils or nut weevils as they infest the seeds of trees such as oaks and hickories. The adult female weevil bores a tiny hole in the immature nut to lay her eggs, which then hatch into legless grubs. In autumn, the grubs bore holes through the shells from the inside to emerge into the soil where they may live for a year or two before maturing into adults.

Curculio Nucum
''Curculio nucum'', the nut weevil, is a medium-sized beetle, with an especially elongated snout, characteristic of the Curculionini tribe of the weevil family (Curculionidae). Its larvae develop in hazel Nut (fruit), nuts ''Corylus avellana'', being a serious pest in hazelnut orchards. It occurs in most of Europe, from south Sweden, Finland and Great Britain to the Mediterranean. Description This weevil ranges from 6 to 8.5 mm. The female's snout is as long as the rest of the body, with a reddish end. The male snout is about 1/3 shorter. The body cover is usually light brown, similar to the colour of mature hazelnuts. This species is often confused with another commonly occurring weevil of the same genera – the gland weevil, ''Curculio glandium'', which lives on oaks. Despite overall similarity, the weevils differ in some morphological details. ''Curculio nucum'' has broader segments of flagellum and the segments are covered with semi-erect hairs which in ''C. glandium'' ...

Curculio Glandium
''Curculio glandium'' is a species of European carpophagus weevil Weevils are beetles belonging to the superfamily Curculionoidea, known for their elongated snouts. They are usually small, less than in length, and herbivorous. Approximately 97,000 species of weevils are known. They belong to several families, ... in the genus ''Curculio'', the acorn and nut weevils. It eats by a rostrum, an elongated snout, that is used for piercing. Description ''Curculio glandium'' is a member of the genus ''Curculio,'' which comprises seed beetles. All members of ''Curculio'' have characteristically long rostrums and ovipositors, an adaptation that specifically developed by their reliance on seeds for food and reproduction. Male/female differentiation can be determined using the rostrum as the female's is longer. The larvae are short, and cylindrical in shape, and move by means of ridges on the underside of the body. Adults can reach a length of 4 to 8 mm. Life cycle ''Curcul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Curculionidae
The Curculionidae are a family of weevils, commonly called snout beetles or true weevils. They are one of the largest animal families, with 6,800 genera and 83,000 species described worldwide. They are the sister group to the family Brentidae. They include the bark beetles as the subfamily Scolytinae, which are modified in shape in accordance with their wood-boring lifestyle. They do not much resemble other weevils, so they were traditionally considered a distinct family, Scolytidae. The family also includes the ambrosia beetles, of which the present-day subfamily Platypodinae was formerly considered the distinct family Platypodidae. Description Adult Curculionidae can be recognised by the well-developed, downwards-curved snout ( rostrum) possessed by many species, though the rostrum is sometimes short (e.g. Entiminae). They have elbowed antennae that end in clubs, and the first antennal segment often fits into a groove in the side of the rostrum. The body tends to be robus ...

Curculioninae
The beetle subfamily Curculioninae is part of the weevil family Curculionidae. It contains over 23,500 described species in 2,200 genera, and is therefore the largest weevil subfamily. Given that the beetle order (Coleoptera) contains about one-quarter of all known organisms, the Curculioninae represent one of the – if not ''the'' – most successful radiations of terrestrial Metazoa. Many weevils of this group are commonly known as flower weevils or acorn and nut weevils, after a food commonly eaten by Curculioninae larvae and imagines — the reproductive organs of plants. Systematics This large subfamily is divided into around 30 tribes. Delimitation of the Curculioninae is fairly robust considering its enormous size; there is some dispute, however, in their exact boundary with the Molytinae. The Phrynixini and Trypetidini are also included in the Curculioninae by some authors, but more often they are considered Molytinae; conversely, the Itini are usuall ...

Frank Hurlbut Chittenden
Frank Hurlbut Chittenden (3 November 1858 – 15 September 1929) was an American coleopterist and economic entomologist who worked in the US Department of Entomology. Chittenden was born in Cleveland, Ohio but the family moved to Elyria. He lost his father when he was young and was taken care of by his school-teacher mother. He went to Cornell University but unfortunately for Chittenden, the well-known entomology professor at Cornell, John Henry Comstock was then away in Washington. Chittenden, sponsored by William J. Holland of the Carnegie Museum, found himself studying under W.S. Barnard, who was less experienced in entomology than himself. This led to Barnard being displeased and led to Chittenden leaving with a licenciate degree in 1881 instead of a bachelor's degree. He then lived in Brooklyn and worked at the Brooklyn Museum, and worked as an editor of the '' Entomologica Americana''. He was a founder of the Brooklyn Entomological Society. In 1891 he joined the US Depa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
