  • Tracheloschizus

    Tracheloschizus is a genus of straight-snouted weevils in the family Brentidae, established by Damoiseau in 1966. The genus belongs to the weevil superfamily Curculionoidea and is characterized by members of this primarily tropical family. Brentidae weevils are distinguished from the more familiar Curculionidae by their elongated, straight rostrums rather than the curved snouts typical of true weevils. The genus is relatively poorly documented in public sources, with limited species-level information available.
