Caecossonus
Caecossonus is a genus of true weevils (family Curculionidae) established in 1955 by E.E. Gilbert. The genus contains three described species: C. continuus, C. dentipes, and C. sylvaticus. Two species were described by Howden in 1992, while the type species C. dentipes was described by Gilbert in 1955. The genus name suggests a connection to caecum or blind-ending structures, possibly referring to morphological features of the weevils.
