• Aramigus tessellatus

  Aramigus tessellatus is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae. The species was originally described by Thomas Say in 1824 under the basionym Liparus tessellatus. It belongs to the tribe Naupactini, a group of weevils primarily distributed in the Americas. Distribution records indicate presence in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, suggesting a South American range. As with many entimine weevils, adults likely feed on plant foliage, though specific host associations for this species remain poorly documented.
