Peritelini
Peritelini is a tribe of broad-nosed weevils within the subfamily Entiminae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), established by Lacordaire in 1863. The tribe comprises approximately 70+ genera distributed primarily across the Palaearctic region, with notable diversity in the Mediterranean basin including Spain, Italy, Sicily, and Portugal. Taxonomic revisions have led to significant reorganization, including the transfer of genera such as Solariola from Otiorhynchini and the exclusion of Caenopsis to Trachyphloeini. Recent systematic work has described numerous new genera and species, particularly from underexplored regions of southern Europe.
