Platypodinae is a weevil subfamily in the family Curculionidae.

They are important early decomposers of dead woody plant material in wet tropics; all but two species are ambrosia beetles that cultivate fungi in tunnels excavated in dead wood as the sole food for their larvae.

They are sometimes known as pinhole borers.
