Weevils
Curculionidae Latreille, 1802
(after Hangay & Zborowski 2010): Weevils have a diverse array of body shapes, but are generally convex with a strong and hard exoskeleton, often possessing scales and bristles. They can be 1.5-65mm in length, but are usually less than 15mm long. The head usually has a forward or downward projecting rostrum, ranging from short and broad to narrow and long. The antennae are almost always elbowed, with a long scape and a 3-segmented club. The first two ventrites are fused and the tarsal formula is 5-5-5, but appears as 4-4-4.
