Artipus
broad-nosed weevils
Artipus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (Curculionidae) established by Sahlberg in 1823. The genus comprises approximately ten described species distributed primarily in the Americas, with the best-documented species being Artipus floridanus, commonly known as the little leaf notcher. Members of this genus are associated with herbaceous feeding habits, with A. floridanus documented as a pest of citrus and various weed hosts in Florida. The genus belongs to the tribe Geonemini within the subfamily Entiminae.
Barynotus
Barynotus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils (Curculionidae: Entiminae) comprising 25 species distributed primarily in the Palaearctic region. These are relatively large weevils with predominantly nocturnal activity patterns. The genus exhibits diverse reproductive strategies, with some species being amphigonic and others parthenogenetic.
Bradyrhynchoides constrictus
broad-nosed weevil
Bradyrhynchoides constrictus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae. It was described by Pierce in 1913. The species is known from North America, with confirmed distribution records from Texas. As a member of the subfamily Entiminae, it possesses the characteristic short, broad rostrum typical of this group.
Calyptillus
Calyptillus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae, described by Horn in 1876. The genus contains at least one described species, C. cryptops. It belongs to the tribe Geonemini within the subfamily Entiminae. Information about its biology and ecology remains sparse.
Calyptillus cryptops
Calyptillus cryptops is a species of weevil in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae, described by George Henry Horn in 1876. It is native to the central United States. The genus Calyptillus belongs to the tribe Geonemini, a group of broad-nosed weevils.
Epicaerus
broad-nosed weevils
Epicaerus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the tribe Geonemini, family Curculionidae. The genus contains more than 90 described species distributed across North America and Central America. At least one species, E. panamensis, has been documented as a pest of potato cultivars in Panama. The genus is characterized by the typical broad-nosed weevil morphology associated with the subfamily Entiminae.
Epicaerus benjamini
Epicaerus benjamini is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Pierce in 1913. It belongs to the tribe Geonemini within the subfamily Entiminae. The species is known from North America, with documented records from Texas.
Epicaerus formidolosus
Epicaerus formidolosus is a broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae. The species was described by Boheman in 1842. It is recorded from the southeastern United States, specifically Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. As a member of the Geonemini tribe, it belongs to a group of flightless weevils with larvae that develop in soil.
Omileus
Omileus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, established by Horn in 1876. The genus contains at least one described species, O. epicaeroides. Members of this genus belong to the subfamily Entiminae and tribe Geonemini, placing them among the root-feeding weevils with characteristically short, broad rostra.
Stamoderes uniformis
Stamoderes uniformis is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, first described by Casey in 1888. The species is known from western North America, with confirmed records from California. As a member of the subfamily Entiminae, it possesses the characteristic short, broad rostrum typical of broad-nosed weevils.
Stereogaster globosa
Stereogaster globosa is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Van Dyke in 1936. The species belongs to the tribe Geonemini within the subfamily Entiminae, a group commonly known as root weevils or broad-nosed weevils. The specific epithet 'globosa' refers to its rounded, globular body shape. The genus Stereogaster is part of the diverse weevil fauna of western North America.
