Tranes
Tranes is a genus of true weevils in the family Curculionidae, subfamily Molytinae, established by Schoenherr in 1843. Species in this genus are strongly associated with cycads, particularly the genera Bowenia, Lepidozamia, and Macrozamia. A 2024 integrative taxonomic revision expanded the genus from four to ten species, describing six new species and redescribing previously named taxa. The genus is part of the broader Tranes group of cycad- and grasstree-associated weevils found in Australia.
