Further, some of the bean weevil species can be harmful to P.Ahipa.

Bean weevils are generally compact and oval in shape, with small heads somewhat bent under.

This morphology may have been an evolutionary defense against seed predators such as bean weevils (Bruchinae).

For example, male bean weevils (Callosobruchus maculatus) have spiny genitalia.

Acanthoscelides is a genus of bean weevils.

Sumyeong Jangja's daughter turned into a bean weevil, and his son turned into a kite.

Bruchidius villosus is a species of bean weevil known by the common names broom seed beetle and Scotch broom bruchid.

In 1922 he received a PhD from the University of Cape Town for his research on bean weevils or Bruchids.

Bruchid beetle or bean weevil Callosobruchus maculatus males are known to express extra-genitalic traumatic insemination on females.

Among agricultural pests the widest spreads are: potato beetle, turnip beetle, grain weevil and bean weevil.

By breeding the gene into cultivated bean plants, United States researchers have been able to introduce a natural resistance to the bean weevil, a major threat to stored beans.

The bean weevils or seed beetles are a subfamily (Bruchinae) of beetles, now placed in the family Chrysomelidae, though they have historically been treated as a separate family.

They found the protein arcelin, at about the same time that researchers at the Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT) of Cali, Colombia, published their discovery of wild beans that resist bean weevils.
