Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Curculionidae Sub Family   Ceutorhynchinae Description   a sub-family of true weevils Background to Family   A large sub-family of more than 140, generally small species, principally associated with herbaceous dicot plants- especially Brassicaceae. Only a handful use trees (Coeliodes, Coeliodinus) or monocot herbs (Mononychus punctumalbum on Iridaceae). Many species use wetland hosts, and thus are semi-aquatic or even aquatic (Eubrichius velutus on milfoils, Myriophyllum)! Most species are relatively host specific, and larvae develop either in roots, stems, fruits, seeds or shoots. Adults tend to feed on leaves of the larval host plant. Numerous species of Ceutorhynchus are well known pests of Brassica crops.     © 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.
