Lixinae is a subfamily of weevils. They are in the animalia kingdom. They are mainly root feeders, although some develop in flower buds or stems.

Characteristics include tarsal claws that are fused at the base, and labial palps are short and telescoping. The body is elongate shape, as for some other weevils. Each tibia bears an uncus (small hook) on its distal end. The rostrum is forwardly directed. Genera include Lixus, Larinus and Cleonis. Cleoninae is not a valid subfamily, but a junior synonym of Lixinae.
