FAMILY ANTHRIBIDAE (Fungus weevils) J. McNamara This family includes 18 species in Canada and Alaska. One of these, the Coffee Bean Weevil, is introduced and may be established in warehouses; this species damages many stored plant materials including seeds. Adults of anthribids are often collected by beating dead or diseased vegetation or by sweeping in weedy areas. The larvae are usually found in similar habitats. Adults feed on fungi, pollen or even bark; larvae feed in plant stems, fungi or woods. The North American genera of Anthribidae have been revised by Valentine (1960); the Canadian species are being revised by Bright and his work is expected to be published soon in the Handbook series "The Insects and Arachnids of Canada".
