Myosides seriehispidus is a broad-nosed weevil native to Asia that has established populations in North America since 2000. It is notable for its triploid chromosome complement and obligate parthenogenetic reproduction, meaning all individuals are female and reproduce without mating. The species is commonly known as the Hair-banded Broad-nosed Weevil.
