Amaurorhinus bewickianus
Amaurorhinus bewickianus is a weevil species in the family Curculionidae, endemic to the Madeira archipelago. It was first described by Wollaston in 1860 and has been recorded from Madeira Island and the nearby Desertas Islands. The species belongs to a small genus of flightless weevils with restricted distributions in the Macaronesian region. Its island endemism and apparent absence from mainland Europe suggest limited dispersal capability.
