Lixus amplexus
Lixus amplexus is a species of true weevil (Curculionidae) described by Casey in 1891. The specific epithet 'amplexus' refers to the mating embrace of frogs and toads, though this appears to be coincidental naming rather than indicating any biological connection. As a member of the large genus Lixus, it belongs to a group of weevils commonly known as 'lixus weevils' that are typically associated with herbaceous plants. Very little species-specific information is documented for this taxon.
Lixus maritimus
Lixus maritimus is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by Fall in 1913. The specific epithet 'maritimus' suggests association with coastal or maritime habitats. As a member of the large genus Lixus, it likely shares the general body plan of elongated snout weevils with clubbed antennae. The species is recorded from North America, though detailed biological information appears limited in available sources.
Lixus mucidus
Lixus mucidus is a species of true weevil in the family Curculionidae, described by LeConte in 1876. It belongs to the large genus Lixus, which comprises elongate weevils often associated with herbaceous plants. The species is documented from North America, with confirmed records in the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Québec. Available information about its biology and ecology remains limited.
