Rhynchophorini
Tribe of beetles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The tribe Rhynchophorini is the largest member of the true weevil subfamily Dryophthorinae. Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999) treated it as a distinct subfamily, Rhynchophorinae (in the family Dryophthoridae).[1][2] Weevils of this tribe have the pygidium (VII abdominal tergite) not covered by the elytra.
