Attelabidae
The Attelabidae is a widespread family of weevils.〔Riedel, A. (2014). 3.4 Attelabidae Billberg, 1820. In: Leschen R.A.B. & Beutel, R.G. (Eds) ''Handbook of Zoology, Coleoptera, Beetles Volume 3: Morphology and Systematics (Phytophaga)''. DeGruyter, Berlin, pp. 328–355.〕 They are among the primitive weevils, because of their straight antennae, which are inserted near the base of the rostrum. The prothorax is much narrower than the base of the elytra on the abdomen. Attelabidae and the related family Rhynchitidae are known commonly as the leaf-rolling weevils.〔Legalov, A. A. (2004). (New data of the leaf-rolling weevils (Coleoptera: Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae) of the world fauna with description of 35 new taxons. ) ''Baltic Journal of Coleopterology'' 4(1) 63-88.〕 Rhynchitidae may be treated as subfamily Rhychitinae of the Attelabidae. Some members of this family have long necks and may be called giraffe weevils, particularly ''Trachelophorus giraffa''. A few species are minor agricultural pests. The larvae of Rhynchitinae feed in flower buds, fruits, and terminal shoots, or are leaf miners. The subfamily Attelabinae are the true leaf rollers. The female cuts slits into leaves to deposit her eggs, and rolls that part of the leaf in which the larvae will feed. ==Taxonomy==
