Notre recherche ne nous a pas permis de retracer un découpage notionnel satisfaisant pour traduire «terminal weevil». On parlera donc tout simplement du charançon en mentionnant au besoin le spécifique (pin blanc, mélèze, sapin, etc.) que cette notion recouvre. Nous pourrions toutefois suggérer «charançon du conifère» puisque dans ce cas précis, ce type d'insecte s'attaque aux pins, épinettes et autres conifères. 2, record 1, French, - charan%C3%A7on
