I found these ugly little things inside of my Hollyhocks. They bore holes throught the seeds.

What are they and how can I get rid of them?????

These may be hollyhock weevils (Rhopalapion longirostre; Coleoptera: Brentidae) - see ttp://tinyurl.com/npla86, http://tinyurl.com/n3a3g6, and http://tinyurl.com/lfwos5
This insect formerly was known as Apion longirostre in the family Curculionidae.
