Agronus
broad-nosed weevils
Agronus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (subfamily Entiminae) in the weevil family Curculionidae. The genus was established by Horn in 1876 and contains at least three described species native to North America. Members are placed in the tribe Otiorhynchini, a diverse group of root-feeding weevils.
Agronus carri
Carr's Broad-nosed Weevil
Agronus carri is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Buchanan in 1929. It is known from western North America, with confirmed records from Alberta, British Columbia, and Montana. As a member of the Entiminae subfamily, it possesses the characteristic short, broad rostrum typical of broad-nosed weevils. The species is poorly documented in scientific literature beyond basic taxonomic description and distribution records.
Otiorhynchus raucus
Otiorhynchus raucus is a broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, first described by Fabricius in 1777. It is a member of the large genus Otiorhynchus, which contains numerous root-feeding weevil species. The species has been recorded across parts of North America and Eurasia, with over 2,000 observations documented on iNaturalist. A former subspecies, O. r. silvicola, described from forest habitats in 1993, is now treated as a synonym.
Sciopithes
Sciopithes is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Horn in 1876. The genus contains approximately six described species distributed in North America. Members are commonly referred to as root weevils, with at least one species, Sciopithes obscurus (the obscure root weevil), documented as a pest of strawberry crops.
Stomodes
broad-nosed weevils
Stomodes is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Schönherr in 1826. The genus comprises approximately 11 described species distributed primarily in Europe and North Africa. Species within this genus are classified in the subfamily Entiminae and tribe Otiorhynchini. As with other entimine weevils, members likely possess a short, broad rostrum and elbowed antennae.
