Curculionoidea

Edited by Chris Lyal on Thu, 2008-11-06 23:28

The Curculionoidea are characterised by the development of the front of the head into an elogate 'rostrum' at the end of which are the mouth parts. In some groups this is reduced (e.g. Entiminae) or absent (Scolytinae), associated with a particular biology.
