161. FAMILY ANTHRIBIDAE , the fungus weevils

Larvae and adults of this family usually occur on or in rotten wood and fungal fruiting bodies. Members of the Choraginae are often seed feeders. Valentine (1998) is a summary of the Nearctic fauna and includes data on some Antillean species. Valentine (2004) is a summary of this family for the West Indies but leaves the majority of species formally unnamed and represented only as a number. Ivie et al. (2008b: 276) list four species not identified to genus from Montserrat. It is quite clear that the Anthribidae of the West Indies require much additional study.
