Orthochaetes
Orthochaetes is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae, tribe Styphlini, established by Germar in 1823. The genus has Palearctic origins, with at least one species, Orthochaetes setiger, documented as an adventive introduction to North America. Records from Canada indicate establishment in Newfoundland and British Columbia. The genus is characterized by morphological features distinguishing it from other Styphlini genera, requiring modified identification keys for North American fauna.
