Ithycerus
New York weevil
Ithycerus is a genus of primitive weevils in the family Ithyceridae (sometimes treated as Brentidae). The genus contains at least one described species, Ithycerus noveboracensis, commonly known as the New York weevil. These beetles are relatively large for weevils and are characterized by their distinctive spotted pattern and bristly body surface. The genus represents an ancient lineage within the weevil superfamily Curculionoidea.
