Cossoninae
That looks like the right subfamily. I'll save the specimen in case it's needed for an id.

Art's been busy lately getting the book written up and done by the end of April. So hopefully it will be out this summer.
It'll be a nice addition to my library, and I won't even have to buy it:-)

he was longing about some paraiso tropical for quite some time, the guy hates winter.
anyway, the weevil belongs in your holdings anyway
