Home of the Database of Insects and their Food Plants © Roger Key Family   Curculionidae Sub Family   Entiminae Description   broad-nosed weevils Background to Family   Around 100 species that develop as larvae on the roots of their hosts, and whose adults are often polyphagous. The large genus Otiorhynchus contains arboreal, ground-dwelling and field-layer species. It has weak host relationships, and the distribution of species is often determined by geographical factors. Otiorhynchus contains numerous horticultural pests, especially O. sulcatus, the scurge of gardeners. The adults of the 'leaf weevils' (Phyllobius, Polydrusus) are mostly arboreal on broadleaved hosts. Sitona specialises on the root nodules of legumes (Fabaceae), and includes some crop pests.     © 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.
