Description: 

One British representative, Mycterus curculioides (Fabricius), a medium-sized (7-9mm) oval beetle found most frequently on flowers.  The overall appearance is reminiscent of an Otiorhynchus weevil, but with grey-gold elytral and pronotal pubescence.  Not recorded in Britain for more than a century and presumed extinct here.
