Cactophagus spinolae, Cactus weevil from Teotihuacan
The tribe Rhynchophorini is the largest member of the true weevil subfamily Dryophthorinae. Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999) treated it as a distinct subfamily, Rhynchophorinae. Weevils of this tribe have the pygidium (VII abdominal tergite) not covered by the elytra.
This tribe includes the largest weevils of the subfamily, such as palm weevils.
