Conotrachelus is a genus of true weevils in the family Curculionidae. It is a very large genus with well over 1,000 species, several of which are pests of fruit crops. [1] Found from Canada to Argentina.
The Curculionidae are a family of weevils, commonly called snout beetles or true weevils. They are one of the largest animal families with 6,800 genera and 83,000 species described worldwide. They are the sister group to the family Brentidae.
Anthonomus is a genus of weevils. This genus includes major agricultural pests such as the boll weevil, strawberry blossom weevil, and pepper weevil, as well as promising biological pest control agents such as Anthonomus santacruzi.
The plum curculio is a true weevil native to the regions east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States and Canada. It is notorious for destroying fruits if left uncontrolled.
Sitona is a large genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae native to the Nearctic and Palaearctic regions. Over 100 species have been described. Sitona is easily distinguished from related genera by flat, recumbent scales on the mandibles, by the absence of an oval scar on the mandibles, by short and broad rostrum with a deep, longitudinal, median groove, and by dense scales on the body.
Conotrachelus elegans, the pecan gall curculio, is a true weevil species in the genus Conotrachelus. It is found in North America where it feeds on galls of the hickory leaf stem gall phylloxera, found also on pecan.
Rhynchophorus, or common name palm weevils, is a genus of beetles in the weevil family, Curculionidae. Palm weevils are major pests of various trees in the family Arecaceae throughout the tropics including: coconut, Areca catechu, species of the genus Phoenix, and Metroxylon sagu. Two species are invasive pests outside their native ranges, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus and Rhynchophorus palmarum.
Conotrachelus buchanani is a species in the family Curculionidae, in the order Coleoptera ("beetles"). Conotrachelus buchanani is found in North America. It is associated with Celtis occidentalis.
Conotrachelus nivosus is a species of beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus aratus, the hickory shoot curculio, is a species of snout or bark beetle in the family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus texanus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus seniculus, the amaranth weevil, is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus integer is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus coronatus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae.
Conotrachelus setiferous is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus obesulus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
The Conotrachelus posticatus is a species of true weevil within the beetle family Curculionidae. C. posticatus is found in North America. It is on average 3.7–5 mm (0.15–0.20 in) long, and it is present in North America all the way to Panama. This species of Conotrachelus breeds in acorns; as a result, its larvae are found within acorns and their larval diet includes acorns. Their growing presence within oak trees has been studied and their effect on oak trees shows that they attack these trees by destroying the seeds within the tree. At times, the seeds can be found to be partially damaged, and requires further studying to understand the activity of the species in relation to oak trees.
Conotrachelus retentus, the black walnut curculio, is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America. Larvae feed on the developing walnut, while adults feed on foliage. Adult weevils rarely leave the tree they were born on.
Conotrachelus compositus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus invadens is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
Conotrachelus geminatus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is found in North America.
