Phacepholis viridis
Phacepholis viridis is a species of broad-nosed weevil (Curculionidae: Entiminae: Naupactini) described by Champion in 1911. It belongs to a genus of Neotropical weevils in the tribe Naupactini, a group known for parthenogenetic reproduction and association with various host plants. The specific epithet 'viridis' (Latin for green) suggests a green coloration, though detailed species-level descriptions are limited in available sources. The genus Phacepholis is taxonomically classified within the subfamily Entiminae, a diverse group of weevils characterized by their broad snouts and often root-feeding larvae.
