Nanophyinae

Guides

  • Nanophyes brevis

    Nanophyes brevis is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae, subfamily Nanophyinae. The species was described by Boheman in 1845. Like other members of the genus Nanophyes, it is a small weevil associated with aquatic or semi-aquatic plants. The genus is known for species that develop in seeds or stems of plants, particularly in the family Lythraceae.

  • Pseudotychius watsoni

    Pseudotychius watsoni is a small brentid weevil in the subfamily Nanophyinae, described by Blatchley in 1922. The species has been suggested to associate with Decodon verticillatus (swamp loosestrife), a wetland plant in the family Lythraceae, though this host relationship requires confirmation. It is known from Ontario, Canada, and like other members of its subfamily, likely occupies aquatic or semi-aquatic habitats tied to its host vegetation.
