Cionopsis
Cionopsis is a genus of true weevils (Curculionidae) established by Champion in 1903. The genus comprises five described species, all described by Burke in the early 1980s except for the type species C. palliatus, described by Champion in 1903. Species in this genus are characterized by distinctive sculpturing on the elytra, including crispate (wavy), echinulate (spiny), or linear patterns that are reflected in their species epithets. The genus is part of the hyperdiverse weevil family Curculionidae, which contains over 40,000 described species worldwide.
