(Curculionidae) Along with Carabidae and Staphylinidae families, this family is one of the most important families of the Coleoptera order. It includes slightly more than 50,000 species spread throughout the world, and more than 400 genera. The classification in this family still needs some clarification in terms of subclasses and tribes as some specialists have disagreement about that. Weevils (snout beetles) (Curculionidae) family is close to Apionidae and Nanophigedae families. Larvae and adults are herbivorous and can attack all parts of plants according to species. They can cause considerable damage to crops and stored crops.
