The article focuses on the ultrastructure of several species of the weevil tribe Phyllobiini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae), which male genetalia have long been studied and used to define taxonomic groups of the species. Topics discussed include the specimens and methods used by the authors in their analysis of the Phyllobiini's internal sac and results of their analysis including the discovery of similar apical sclerites among Phyllobius argentatus, P. fulvago and P. glaucus.
