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.
The insect tribe Stromboscerini is part of the weevil family Curculionidae, subfamily Dryophthorinae. It is a small and little-known weevil group. Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal (1999) treated it as a subfamily.
Molytinae is a subfamily of weevils described by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823.
The Entiminae are a large subfamily in the weevil family Curculionidae, containing most of the short-nosed weevils, including such genera as Entimus, Otiorhynchus, Phyllobius, Sitona, and Pachyrrhynchus. In comparison with their stunning diversity, only a few of these weevils are notorious pests of major economic importance. Entimines are commonly encountered in the field, including urban environments, and abundant in entomological collections.
Baridinae is a subfamily of true weevils (Curculionidae). It was established by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1836. Some 4,300 species in 550 genera are placed here, most of which occur in the New World. A few are economically significant pests, while others are in turn used for biocontrol of invasive plant pests. This subfamily also contains a few endangered species.
Cossoninae is a true weevil subfamily in the family Curculionidae.
Rhamphini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Curculioninae.
Lechriopini is a tribe of true weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 20 genera and 510 described species in Lechriopini.
The Anypotactini are a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae. It includes 81 described species.
Ectemnorhinini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.
Entimini is a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae that includes 46 described species.
Eustylini is a primarily Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.
Naupactini is a tribe of broad-nosed weevils. Primarily from the Neotropical realm, reaches highest genus and species diversity in South America. Their size varies from 3.5 to 35 mm long, and its colour patterns are diverse. As well many has colourful iridescent scales, others show opaque scales or setae, and some are subglabrous. In habitats with sparse vegetation or trees absence, the occurrence of flightlessness and parthenogenesis is frequent.
Ophryastini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.
Peritelini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.
Polydrusini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.
Trachyphloeini is a tribe of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are more than 25 genera in Trachyphloeini.
Derelomini is a tribe of true weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. There are about five genera and eight described species in Derelomini.
Brachyomus is a Neotropical genus of broad-nosed weevils in the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Eustylini.
Cyrtomon is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, present only in South America. There are six described species in Cyrtomon.
