Peltophorus
Peltophorus is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae (subfamily Baridinae, tribe Zygopini). The genus contains multiple species distributed in Mexico, including P. polymitus and P. adustus. Species in this genus are associated with succulent plants, particularly agaves and Opuntia cacti. P. polymitus has been documented feeding on at least seven Agave species and has been recorded in wild agave plantations, though it has not been formally designated as an agricultural pest.
