The Cryptorhynchinae is a large subfamily of weevils (Curculionidae), with some 6000 species.

They are distinguished by having their rostrum (snout) backwardly directed between their fore coxae in repose, and fitting within a protective channel that usually ends in a cup-like structure on the mesosternum (ventral mid thoracic segment). The ends of the tibiae also bear an uncus (small hook-like extensions).
