Wikispecies has information related to Caridae.
Caridae is a small Gondwanan family of weevils. They are considered part of the primitive weevil group, because they have straight rather than elbowed antennae. The insertion of the antennae on the rostrum cannot be seen from above. Caridae also lack spiracles on abdominal tergites 6 and 7. The prothorax lacks lateral carinae.
They are usually found on trees from the Cupressaceae. Car has been found on Callitris, and Caenominurus on Austrocedrus and Pilgerodendron.
