Immature stages of Curculionidae: Larvae of the soil-dwelling weevils of New Zealand

摘要

Larvae of 27 broad-nosed weevils (Adelognatha) in the sub-families Leptopiinae, Brachyderinae (Thyladtinae), Otiorhynchinae (Brachyrhininae) and 9 in Rhytirhininae (Cylindrorhininae) (Phanerognatha) are described and figured. The subfamilies and genera are defined, and two keys are provided. The first key is arranged phylogenetically, while the second is simplified and includes only those species which occur in agronomic areas. Of the 19 species recognised as pests, or occasional pests, in New Zealand, 13 are introduced.
