Guides
Smicronyx constrictus
Smicronyx constrictus is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae, native to North America. The genus Smicronyx contains seed weevils associated with plants in the Asteraceae family, including sunflowers. Specific ecological details for S. constrictus are poorly documented in available sources, though congeners are known as seed-feeding pests of cultivated sunflowers.
Smicronyx corniculatus
Smicronyx corniculatus is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae. It is native to North America, with records from Canada (New Brunswick, Ontario, Québec). Like other members of the genus Smicronyx, this species is likely associated with sunflower (Helianthus) or related Asteraceae hosts, though specific ecological details for this species are poorly documented. The genus Smicronyx includes seed-feeding weevils that are economically significant pests of cultivated sunflowers.
Smicronyx corpulentus
Smicronyx corpulentus is a species of seed weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by LeConte in 1876. It is native to North America and belongs to a genus whose members are primarily associated with sunflower seeds as pests. Specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented in published literature.
Smicronyx flavicans
Smicronyx flavicans is a species of seed weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by LeConte in 1876. It is native to North America, with records from Ontario, Canada. The genus Smicronyx includes several sunflower-associated seed weevils that are agricultural pests, though specific details about this particular species remain sparse in published literature.
Smicronyx incertus
Smicronyx incertus is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Anderson in 1962. The species is known from North America, with confirmed records from Manitoba, Canada. As a member of the genus Smicronyx, it belongs to a group commonly referred to as seed weevils, though specific ecological details for this particular species remain undocumented in the available literature.
Smicronyx rhodopus
Smicronyx rhodopus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It is native to North America and belongs to a genus that includes several seed-feeding species associated with sunflowers. Specific biological details for this particular species remain poorly documented in available literature.
Smicronyx tesselatus
Smicronyx tesselatus is a species of true weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. The genus Smicronyx comprises seed weevils associated with plants in the Asteraceae family, particularly sunflowers (Helianthus spp.). Several congeners in this genus are significant agricultural pests of cultivated sunflowers, though specific documentation for S. tesselatus is limited. The species was referenced in a 2021 Texas collecting trip report where it was initially misidentified as a lightly marked specimen of the related species Goes tesselatus, a cerambycid beetle.
Smicronyx tychoides
Smicronyx tychoides is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae, first described by LeConte in 1876. It is native to North America, with distribution records from Ontario, Canada and the broader North American region. As a member of the genus Smicronyx, it belongs to a group commonly known as seed weevils, many of which are associated with plants in the Asteraceae family. Specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented in available sources.
