Remarks
Barry Valentine, pers. comm.: Pollen feeding is reasonable for most Trigonorhinus. Other species use sagebrush and ragweed pollen, corn and grass smut, and fern spores. It is a very successful genus occurring in Europe, Asia, and the majority of species from Canada to Argentina, but not the West Indies.
the only member of the tribe Trigonorhinini Valentine 1999; used to be treated in Anthribini
