Narberdia
Narberdia is a genus of true weevils in the family Curculionidae, tribe Anthonomini. The genus was monotypic when described by Burke in 1976 from the United States, but expanded to at least five species following descriptions of four additional species from México and Costa Rica in 2017. All species are intimately associated with plants of the genus Bernardia (Euphorbiaceae). Sexual dimorphism is pronounced, with females possessing a longer, more slender rostrum and a distinctive tibial tooth absent in males.
