The temporary keys to the subfamilies of Curculionidae and to the tribes of Entiminae occurring in Japan are given. The first part of the monograph on the family Curculionidae of Japan treats the tribes Phyllobiini, Polydrusini and Cyphicerini of the subfamily Entiminae, including the keys to genera, subgenera and species, descriptions, distributions, biodata, illustrations of important features, and photographs of all species in color.
