About Mycterus curculioides (Fabricius, 1781)
Mycterus curculioides is a species of beetle in the family Mycteridae. It is found in the British Isles, Italy, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, Spain, Southern Russia, and North Africa. Adult Mycterus curculioides reach 7–9 millimetres (0.28–0.35 inches) in length. The beetles are dark grey, with golden grey pubescence on their elytra and pubescence on their thorax. Their head has an elongated rostrum. This species can be told apart from Mycterus tibialis and Mycterus umbellatarum by its narrower, longer rostrum.
