Hypera eximia
Hypera eximia is a weevil species in the family Curculionidae distinguished by its rare surface swimming behavior, an unusual adaptation among weevils. This behavior has been documented and studied for its morphological and phylogenetic implications within the genus Hypera. The species is poorly represented in observation databases, with only four records on iNaturalist. It has been synonymized under the genus Apodrosus as Apodrosus eximius in some taxonomic treatments.
