What is "rhynchaenus"

Rhynchaenus is a genus of beetles alternatively place in the subfamilies Rhynchaeninae or in Curculioninae, of family Curculionidae. It previously included the genus Orchestes, but is now restricted to a smaller group of species, all of which occur in Europe, Japan, or North Africa and feed on Asteraceae plants. Reports of its occurrence in North America are erroneous.
