Pissodes is a genus of weevils described by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1817.
These insects live on conifers. [1] They are widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, their distribution mirroring that of plants in the Pinaceae, the pine family, which includes most of their host trees. [2]
A few Pissodes species are considered to be pests, such as Pissodes strobi , P. nemorensis , and P. terminalis , because they do significant damage to trees. [2]
There are at least 140 described species in Pissodes. [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
