Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Curculionidae Sub Family   Curculioninae Description   a sub-family of true weevils Background to Family   More than 100 species that develop as larvae on a wide range of woody and herbaceous dicot families. Certain genera tend to use particular host groups, e.g. Anthonomus (bud feeding in Rosaceae), Cionus and Cleopus (as external, slime-covered larvae on Scrophulariaceae), Dorytomus (in the male or female catkins of Salix and Populus), Mecinus (Plantago) and Tychius (Fabaceae). The larvae of some Curculioninae are inquilines in the galls of sawflies or gall wasps on certain trees. The 'flea weevils' (Rhamphus and Rhynchaenus) are predominantly leaf-miners in broadleaved trees, whereas Orthochaetes mine a wide range of herbaceous plants.     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   _ No. interactions   _ % interactions with British data   _ No. records   _ % taxa with British data   _ Notes   Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature or errors in original sources.
