Pachyrhynchus reticulatus is a species weevil in the family Curculionidae. This species can be found in Philippines, Luzon, Marinduque. [1]
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.
The Fiordland penguin, also known as the Fiordlandcrested penguin, is a crested penguin species endemic to New Zealand. It currently breeds along the south-western coasts of New Zealand's South Island as well as on Stewart Island/Rakiura and its outlying islands. Because it originally ranged beyond Fiordland, it is sometimes referred to as the New Zealand crested penguin.
Salacca is a genus of about 20 species of palms native to Southeast Asia and the eastern Himalayas. They are dioecious and pollinated by Curculionidae beetles.
Eudyptes is a genus of penguins whose members are collectively called crested penguins. The exact number of species in the genus varies between four and seven depending on the authority, and a Chatham Islands species became extinct in recent centuries. All are black and white penguins with yellow crests, red bills and eyes, and are found on Subantarctic islands in the world's southern oceans. All lay two eggs, but raise only one young per breeding season; the first egg laid is substantially smaller than the second.
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.
Pissodes is a genus of weevils described by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1817.
Otiorhynchus is a large genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae. Many species of the genus, particularly the black vine weevil and the strawberry root weevil, are important pests, both as larvae and as adults. Larvae feed on plant roots. Adults are flightless with fused elytra and feed at night on plant foliage. In many species of the genus at least some races are polyploid and parthenogenetic, while the rest of the races and species are diploid and bisexual. Otiorhynchus weevils, particularly O. scaber, have been a popular subject for studies of the evolution of parthenogenesis. The genus is native to the Palearctic region. However, sixteen species were inadvertently introduced to North America and have become widespread there.
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.
Orchidophilus is a genus of true weevils in the subfamily Baridinae. There are six species. These weevils live in orchids, and are known generally as orchid weevils. They are native to Indonesia, the Philippines, and surrounding islands, and they can sometimes be found in shipments of cultivated orchids. Two species, Orchiophilus aterrimus and O. perigrinator, are pests of orchids that have become naturalized outside their native range.
Echelus is a genus of eels in the snake-eel family Ophichthidae.
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.
Sipalinus gigas is a species of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae.
Pachyrhynchus smaragdinus is a species of primitive weevil in the family Curculionidae.
Pachyrhynchus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae. Most species are found on Southeast Asian islands.
Pachyrhynchus argus is a species weevil in the family Curculionidae. It is a small black weevil, with blue-green rings on the elytra. This species can be found in Philippines.
Pachyrhynchus infernalis is a weevil species in the family Curculionidae. It is a small black weevil known by its particularly resistant carapace.
Pachyrhynchini is a true weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.
Gavialis pachyrhynchus is an extinct species of gavialid from the Miocene of India. Although only known from fragmentary jaw material, the size of this material is substantially larger than comparable bones in large gharials.
Pandeleteius is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. There are over 150 described species in Pandeleteius, distributed across the Americas. Most species in the genus were described by Anne Howden.
Pachyrhynchus obumanuvu is a species of Easter egg weevil discovered in 2021. The species has an iridescent scarlet and green-black markings has coloring reminiscent of the Obu Manuvu's traditional garments. P. obumanuvu is endangered due to deforestation but more specifically in the western side of Mindanao.
