Archarius pyrrhoceras | |
Archarius pyrrhoceras is a species of weevil native to Europe. [2] [3] [4] The weevils are inquilines as larvae, living in galls of Cynipidae wasps formed on oak trees. [5]
Weevils are beetles belonging to the superfamily Curculionoidea, known for their elongated snouts. They are usually small – less than 6 mm in length – and herbivorous. Approximately 97,000 species of weevils are known. They belong to several families, with most of them in the family Curculionidae. It also includes bark beetles, which while morphologically dissimilar to other weevils in lacking the distinctive snout, is a subfamily of Curculionidae. Some other beetles, although not closely related, bear the name "weevil", such as the biscuit weevil, which belongs to the family Ptinidae.
