Aragnomus griseus
Aragnomus griseus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae. It was described by Horn in 1876. The species is native to North America, with confirmed records from the western United States. As a member of the Entiminae subfamily, it possesses the characteristic short, broad rostrum typical of this group.
Dysticheus
Dysticheus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Horn in 1876. It belongs to the subfamily Entiminae and tribe Peritelini. The genus contains at least two described species: Dysticheus insignis (Horn, 1876) and Dysticheus rotundicollis (Van Dyke, 1953). Members of this genus are part of the diverse weevil fauna of North America.
Eucyllus vagans
Eucyllus vagans is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. First described by Horn in 1876, this small beetle is found in western North America, with documented records from Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, and Baja California. As a member of the subfamily Entiminae, it possesses the characteristic short, broad snout typical of this group.
Geodercodes
Geodercodes is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Casey in 1888. The genus contains at least two described species: G. hispidus (Horn, 1894) and G. latipennis (Casey, 1888). As members of the subfamily Entiminae, these weevils are characterized by their broad, short rostrums. The genus is relatively poorly documented, with limited biological and ecological information available.
Nemocestes
Nemocestes is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae. The genus includes at least one species, Nemocestes incomptus, a native root weevil known to feed on strawberry plants in western Washington. Members of this genus are classified within the tribe Peritelini. The genus was established by Van Dyke in 1936.
Nemocestes horni
Nemocestes horni is a species of broad-nosed weevil (family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae) described by Van Dyke in 1936. It belongs to the tribe Peritelini, a group of weevils characterized by their broad, short rostrums. The species is known from scattered localities across North America, including the Pacific Northwest, Great Lakes region, and northeastern United States.
Orthoptochus
Orthoptochus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (Curculionidae: Entiminae: Peritelini) established by Casey in 1888. The genus contains at least one described species, O. squamiger. As a member of the Entiminae subfamily, adults are characterized by their rounded, short snouts rather than the elongated rostra typical of many other weevil groups. The genus is rarely encountered in collections and observations, with minimal documented information about its biology.
Paraptochus
Paraptochus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae, tribe Peritelini. It contains six described species, primarily distributed in western North America. The genus was established by Seidlitz in 1868. Taxonomic treatment has varied, with some authorities historically placing certain species in the genus Peritelinus, though current databases recognize Peritelinus as a synonym of Paraptochus.
Paraptochus variegatus
Paraptochus variegatus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae. First described by Casey in 1888, this beetle is native to western North America with documented occurrences in British Columbia, California, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. As a member of the Peritelini tribe, it shares characteristics with other root-feeding weevils in this group. The specific epithet 'variegatus' suggests variable coloration, though detailed morphological descriptions remain limited in available literature.
Peritelodes
Peritelodes is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, established by Casey in 1888. The genus belongs to the tribe Peritelini within the subfamily Entiminae. At least one species, P. obtectus, has been described. Members of this genus share the characteristic broad rostrum typical of Entiminae weevils.
Peritelodes obtectus
Peritelodes obtectus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Casey in 1888. It belongs to the subfamily Entiminae, a diverse group of root-feeding weevils. The species is known from California and is part of the genus Peritelodes, which contains multiple North American species. Very little specific biological information has been published for this particular species.
Peritelopsis globiventris
Peritelopsis globiventris is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, first described by LeConte in 1857 under the basionym Ptochus globiventris. It belongs to the tribe Peritelini within the subfamily Entiminae, a group characterized by short, broad rostra. The species is known from California and has been documented in association with host plants, though specific details remain limited in available literature.
Stenoptochus
Stenoptochus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Casey in 1888. The genus contains at least two described species: S. inconstans and S. vanduzeei. These weevils belong to the subfamily Entiminae and tribe Peritelini. As with other broad-nosed weevils, they possess a short, broad rostrum rather than the elongated snout characteristic of many curculionids.
Thinoxenus
Thinoxenus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (family Curculionidae) established by Horn in 1876. It belongs to the subfamily Entiminae and tribe Peritelini. At least one species, T. squalens, has been described. Information on its biology and ecology remains limited.
