Apion
Apion is a genus of small weevils in the family Brentidae, historically classified in Apionidae. The genus was established by Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst in 1797. Species in this genus are associated with various host plants, with some exhibiting narrow host specificity. The genus has been involved in notable nomenclatural complications, particularly regarding the name Eurhinus which was originally applied to a different apionine genus by Kirby in 1819 before being transferred to the baridine genus Eurhin.
