Auletobius humeralis is a species of leaf or bud weevil in the family Attelabidae, described by Hoffmann in 1953. The species is found in North America. As a member of Attelabidae, it is associated with leaf or bud feeding habits typical of this family of weevils.
Eugnamptus
Eugnamptus is a genus of leaf and bud weevils in the beetle family Attelabidae. The genus contains more than 170 described species. Members of this genus are associated with plant material, particularly leaves and buds, reflecting the feeding habits typical of the family. The genus was established by Carl Johan Schoenherr in 1839.
Orchestes mixtus
Orchestes mixtus is a weevil species in the family Curculionidae, first described by Blatchley and Leng in 1916. The species is recorded from multiple Canadian provinces including Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.

Phyllobius
Phyllobius is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (Curculionidae: Entiminae) containing at least 60 described species, with many distributed across Europe. Adults are primarily folivorous, feeding on leaves of broadleaved trees and occasionally causing defoliation damage in young woodlands. Larvae develop in soil, feeding on grass roots. Some species have been introduced outside their native ranges and established as nonindigenous populations in northern hardwood forests.
Rhynchites
Rhynchites is a genus of leaf and bud weevils in the family Attelabidae. Species within this genus are associated with diverse host plants including pears, strawberries, and olives across temperate regions. Several species are economically significant agricultural pests. The genus exhibits characteristic attelabid oviposition behaviors, including stem-cutting to facilitate offspring development.
