n. - Any one of numerous species of snout beetles, or Rhynchophora, in which the head is elongated and usually curved downward. Many of the species are very injurious to cultivated plants.

The larvae of other species bore under the bark and into the pith of trees and various other plants, as the pine weevils (see under Pine).
