Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Apionidae Sub Family   Description   a family of orthocerous weevils Background to Family   The Apioninae is a speciose group of small, but distinctive, weevils that are relatively specific to their hosts. The larvae mainly feed internally on perennial herbs, in a wide range of plant parts, and some species form galls. In particular, they use Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Polygonaceae, Asteraceae, and Malvaceae. They are rarely associated with trees.     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   84 No. interactions   460 % interactions with British data   ? No. records   796 % taxa with British data   ?
