Orchestes is a genus of beetles either classified in the subfamily Rhynchaeninae or in the tribe Rhamphini of the subfamily Curculioninae, of the family Curculionidae. It encompasses six species in North America, including Orchestes alni , and more in Eurasia. It was previously regarded as a synonym of Rhynchaenus , which is now used with a more restricted definition. [1] The name Pedetes (normally used for the springhares) has been used as a manuscript name for this genus around 1799, but not published as a valid name. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Entiminae</span> Subfamily of beetles

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.

<i>Rhynchaenus</i> Genus of beetles

Rhynchaenus is a genus of beetles alternatively placed in the subfamilies Rhynchaeninae or in Curculioninae, of family Curculionidae. It previously included the genus Orchestes, but is now restricted to a smaller group of species, all of which occur in Europe, Japan, or North Africa and feed on Asteraceae plants. Reports of its occurrence in North America are erroneous.
