  • Cryptorhynchini

    Cryptorhynchini is a tribe of weevils within the subfamily Molytinae (Curculionidae). Members of this tribe are characterized by a rostrum that can be retracted into a ventral groove between the procoxae, a trait reflected in the name 'hidden snout.' The tribe contains numerous genera distributed across multiple continents, with diverse ecological roles including herbivory and, in at least one documented case, behavioral mimicry of dung beetles.
