Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Attelabidae Sub Family   Description   a family of orthocerous weevils Background to Family   There are single British species in the Attelabinae (Attelabus nitens) and Apoderinae (Apoderus coryli), which occur on oak and hazel, repsectively. As found in some species of the Rhynchitidae, the females display a behaviour, unique in the British fauna, of rolling-up tree leaves to produce ‘cradles’ for the developing larvae.     © Roger Key No. taxa in DBIF   2 No. interactions   19 % interactions with British data   ?
