All are parthenogenic. 8-11 mm in length.
Adults can live for three or more years and lay eggs each spring.
The mandibles are short. The body segments appear somewhat wrinkled and hairy. Half-grown larvae overwinter in the soil. The adult weevils live above ground feeding on cotyledons and on the bark of seedlings at night. Root weevil larvae are subterranean, feeding on the roots of many kinds of plants including conifer seedlings in nursery beds.
