Brachysomus
Brachysomus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Entiminae, tribe Sciaphilini. First described by Schönherr in 1823, the genus currently comprises approximately 56 species distributed primarily across the Palaearctic region. The genus was formerly known as Platytarsus (Schoenherr, 1840), now synonymized. Brachysomus species are small to medium-sized broad-nosed weevils characterized by distinctive morphological features including particular arrangements of setae and body sculpturing.
