A general term for insects of the genus Curculio in the family Curculionidae in the order Coleoptera. They are so named because their proboscis is long, like the beak of a snipe. They use their proboscis to make holes in the seeds of acorns, camellias, and acorns, and then insert their ovipositor to lay eggs. The larvae develop inside the fruit. The acorn weevil that inhabits acorns is called the acorn weevil in English. Japan is home to the chestnut weevil, oak weevil, camellia weevil, and acorn weevil.
