Orchestes is a genus of beetles in the subfamily Rhynchaeninae of family Curculionidae. It encompasses six species in North America, including Orchestes alni, and more in Eurasia. It was previously regarded as a synonym of Rhynchaenus, which is now used with a more restricted definition.[1] The name Pedetes (normally used for the springhares) has been used as a manuscript name for this genus around 1799, but not published as a valid name.[2]
