ID confirmed by J.C. Ciegler
her comment: "Yes, I agree they're C. proboscideus. Females of three SC species have rostra longer than the body: C. proboscideus, C. nasicus, & C. caryae. The rostrum of C. nasicus is more curved, so I eliminated that. The rostrum of C. caryae is twice as wide at the base as it is in the middle, but that of C. proboscideus is nearly the same width throughout, so I'm opting for the latter."

Moved from Nut and Acorn Weevils.
