   The Electronic Catalogue of Weevil Names is a project in progress.

   Ultimately it will contain all family, genus and species-group names in the Curculionoidea, a group of beetles with some 60,000 described species which includes many important insects, including the bark beetles (Scolytinae) and powder-post beetles (Platypodinae).

   Currently the database contains some 100.000 names, including all generic and family-group names, in their current taxonomic position, and based on Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal's (1999, 2002) catalogue of weevil family and genus names.  Species-group names are being added, but are not yet all present nor checked against original publication or current placement.
