A general term for insects belonging to the family Rhynchophoridae in the order Coleoptera. This includes the Japanese giant weevil, the banana weevil, and the rice weevil. The broad two-ringed segment (the bulb) at the tip of the antennae is firm, and only the base of this segment (the first segment) is shiny and lacking dense fine hairs. The dorsal surface of the body is flattened, and the proboscis does not bend strongly, which distinguishes it from other weevils. The banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus is about 11 mm long.
