Coelocephalapion antennatum
Coelocephalapion antennatum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. Species in this genus are small to minute beetles associated with plant material. The specific epithet "antennatum" refers to notable antennae characteristics. Like other members of Apioninae, this species likely has a narrow, elongated rostrum. Detailed biological studies of this particular species appear limited in published literature.
Coelocephalapion spretissimum
Coelocephalapion spretissimum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. The genus Coelocephalapion comprises small weevils characterized by their elongated rostrum. This species belongs to a group of brentids that are poorly documented in the scientific literature.
Coelocephalapion subornatum
Coelocephalapion subornatum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. It belongs to a genus characterized by elongated, slender body forms and notably elongated rostrums. The species is documented from a limited number of observations, suggesting it may be uncommon or underreported. As with other members of Brentidae, it likely exhibits the family-typical elongated snout used for feeding and oviposition.
Coelocephalapion ventricosum
Coelocephalapion ventricosum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. As a member of this family, it possesses the characteristic elongated snout (rostrum) typical of brentid weevils. The genus Coelocephalapion is part of the diverse apionine radiation within Brentidae. Very little specific information about this particular species is available in published sources.
Fallapion bischoffi
Fallapion bischoffi is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. The genus Fallapion belongs to the subfamily Apioninae, a group of small weevils commonly known as seed weevils or apionids. As a member of the Brentidae, this species possesses the characteristic elongated snout (rostrum) typical of the family. Information regarding the specific biology and distribution of this species is limited in available sources.
Fallapion ellipticum
Fallapion ellipticum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated rostrum and association with woody plants. The specific epithet 'ellipticum' refers to the elliptical body shape. Information on this species remains limited due to its rarity in collections and observations.
Fallapion funereum
Fallapion funereum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. As a member of the genus Fallapion, it belongs to a group of small weevils characterized by elongated rostrums. Very few documented observations of this species exist, and its biology remains poorly known. The specific epithet 'funereum' (Latin for 'funeral' or 'deathly') likely refers to its dark coloration.
Fallapion impunctistriatum
Fallapion impunctistriatum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. The genus Fallapion comprises small weevils characterized by elongated rostra and reduced wings. Species in this genus are associated with woody plants, though specific ecological data for F. impunctistriatum remain limited. The species epithet 'impunctistriatum' refers to the absence of punctate striae on the elytra, a distinguishing morphological feature.
Fallapion obsoletum
Fallapion obsoletum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. The genus Fallapion comprises small weevils, and this species is distinguished by its relatively unmarked, dull coloration implied by the specific epithet "obsoletum" (meaning worn or indistinct). Like other brentids, it possesses an elongated rostrum and lacks the elbowed antennae typical of true weevils (Curculionidae). Published records for this species are sparse, and its biology remains poorly documented.
Heterobrenthus
Heterobrenthus is a genus of straight-snouted weevils (family Brentidae) established by Sharp in 1895. The genus contains at least three described species distributed in Central America and the southern United States. As members of Brentidae, these weevils possess elongated, non-geniculate antennae and an extended rostrum, distinguishing them from the more familiar Curculionidae (true weevils).
Microon
Microon is a genus of weevils in the family Brentidae, established by Alonso-Zarazaga in 1989. These beetles belong to the straight-snouted weevil lineage within Coleoptera. The genus has been documented from limited observations in northern Europe.
Trichapion commodum
Trichapion commodum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae, described by Fall in 1898. It belongs to the subfamily Apioninae, a group characterized by their distinctive elongated rostra. The genus Trichapion is distinguished by having antennae with a scape that is distinctly longer than the head. This species has been recorded from the Canadian Prairie provinces.
Trichapion leporinum
Trichapion leporinum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae, described by Salsbury in 1987. The species epithet "leporinum" (hare-like) may reference a morphological trait or host association. Distribution records indicate presence in Manitoba, Canada. As a member of the Apioninae subfamily, it likely exhibits the slender body form and elongated rostrum characteristic of this group.
Trichapion modicum
Trichapion modicum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. The genus Trichapion was established to accommodate species previously placed in Apion, distinguished by morphological features of the rostrum and antennae. This species has been documented in Manitoba, Canada. Like other brentid weevils, it possesses an elongated rostrum and elbowed antennae. Specific ecological details for this species remain poorly documented.
Trichapion porcatum
Trichapion porcatum is a species of straight-snouted weevil in the family Brentidae. It is recorded from eastern Canada, specifically New Brunswick, Ontario, and Quebec. The genus Trichapion comprises small weevils associated with leguminous plants. Limited observational data exists for this species.
