Genus of beetles From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Orchestes is a genus of beetles either classified in the subfamily Rhynchaeninae or in the tribe Rhamphini of the subfamily Curculioninae, of the family Curculionidae. It encompasses six species in North America, including Orchestes steppensis, and more in Eurasia. It was previously regarded as a synonym of Rhynchaenus, which is now used with a much more restricted definition.[1] The name Pedetes (normally used for the springhares) has been used as a manuscript name for this genus around 1799, but not published as a valid name.[2]
