An image database of the Japanese weevils (excluding Scolytidae and Platypodidae), which was awarded the Akitu Prize 2008 by the Entomological Society of Japan, is introduced. The database site consists of the following eight pages: 1) home about the database; 2) comments on weevils; 3) image search; 4) text search; 5) collecting records plotted on Google Maps; 6) checklist; 7) images in nature, and 8) photo collage. The pages 3 to 8 are linked by a relationship with the keyword of the species name. Species information includes scientific and Japanese names, systematic position (family, subfamily, tribe and subtribe), distribution, host or collected plants, body length, synonym, notes, original description, collecting records and images including type specimens.
