Features of the morphological structure of rostrum, and trophic preferences of weevils of the subfamily Lixinae (Coleoptera, Curculionidae)

Abstract

Structure of rostrum of the weevils from the subfamily Lixinae is considered. Morpho-functional features of the external sculpture of rostrum are discussed in connection with the biology of these beetles and localization of their eggs on a host plant
