Eustylini
Eustylini is a primarily Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae. Taxonomy The tribe Eustylini was named for the first time by Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire in 1863, although, when first named, the tribe (Groupe Eustylides, p. 205) only contained three genera: ''Aptolemus'' (currently in Naupactini), ''Brachystylus'', and ''Eustylus''. In 1986 the Eustylini contained most of its current genera, mostly due to revised taxonomic placements made by Guillermo Kuschel. The latest additions were made by Franz in 2012 by transferring former members of other tribes including Geonemini, Phyllobiini, and Tanymecini. The type species of some genera (''Compsus'', ''Diaprepes'', '' Eustylus'', ''Exorides'', and ''Exophthalmus'') were redescribed by Franz. Most species of Eustylini are only known from their original descriptions. Description A diagnosis for the tribe was offered by Girón 2020: Distribution Eustylini ranges from south-western USA to Argentina, wit ...

Exophthalmus
''Exophthalmus'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. It contains 85 described species. Taxonomy ''Exophthalmus'' was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823 (column 1140). It belongs in the tribe Eustylini. In revising the Jamaican species, Vaurie offers an overview to the genus and its taxonomic conflicts. A preliminary phylogeny for ''Exophthalmus'' and its allies was presented by Franz. It is part of the so-called ''"Exophthalmus'' genus complex" which involves members of the genera ''Diaprepes'', ''Compsus'', ''Lachnopus'', among others. Based on morphological and molecuelar evidence, it has been proposed that the genus needs to be reclassified to better reflect the actual distribution of natural clades. Description In general, ''Exophthalmus'' species are characterized by the smooth and broad longitudinal bridge running longitudinally across the rostrum. There is a lot of variation in sizes, density, coloration, and patt ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Oxyderces
''Oxyderces'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae distributed in South America. It can be recognized by the presence of dense setae on the apex of the rostrum and postocular setae. Taxonomy The genus was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823 in column 1140. It belongs to the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Eustylini. It belongs to the so-called "''Compsus'' genus complex". It has been proposed that ''Oxyderces'' is a synonym of '' Compsus''. Description In 1922 Sir Guy A. K. Marshall described the genus ''Plococompsus'', which is currently a synonym of ''Oxyderces''. This reference presents a good diagnosis for the genus: Distribution ''Oxyderces'' is known from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela; Guadeloupe, Martinique. Species list The following species have been assigned to this genus: # '' Oxyderces argentinicus'' (Heller, 1921: 28): Argentina. # '' Oxyderces bimaculatus'' (H ...

Entiminae
The Entiminae are a large subfamily in the weevil family Curculionidae, containing most of the short-nosed weevils, including such genera as ''Entimus'', ''Otiorhynchus'', ''Phyllobius'', ''Sitona'', and '' Pachyrrhynchus''. In comparison with their stunning diversity, only a few of these weevils are notorious pests of major economic importance. Entimines are commonly encountered in the field, including urban environments, and abundant in entomological collections. Diversity There are over 12000 described species worldwide, distributed in over 1370 genera, nearly 14000 by more recent counts. Most tribes are represented in only one biogeographic region of the world. The current classification within the subfamily has been recognized as artificial rather than reflecting natural groups. General morphology Besides the shape of their broad and short rostrum, most entimines are easily recognized by the presence of a mandibular scar that appears when a deciduous process falls of ...

Compsus
''Compsus'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, distributed across the Americas, primarily in northern South America. Taxonomy The genus ''Compsus'' was first named by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823: col. 1140. It belongs to the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Eustylini and to the so-called "''Compsus'' genus complex". A key to identify species was provided by Hustache in 1938 (in French), which was translated to English and adjusted by O'Brien and Peña. Description Broad-nosed weevils of moderate size (approx. 7–12 mm), most of them uniformly covered by scales of variable coloration ranging from white to metallic green, pink, and blue. Many morphological features of ''Compsus'' overlap with those of related eustyline genera including '' Exorides'', '' Eustylus'', and ''Oxyderces'', composing the so-called "''Compsus'' genus complex".

Exorides
''Exorides'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae, tribe Eustylini, distributed in northern South America. Taxonomy ''Exorides'' was described for the first time by Francis P. Pascoe in 1881 (p. 43). A discussion about the genus along with a key to most species was published by Guy A. K. Marshall in 1922. It belongs to the so-called "''Compsus'' genus complex". Description Species of the genus ''Exorides'' are easily confused with members of the genus ''Compsus'', as well as with members of the genus '' Xestogaster''. A "provisional" diagnosis for ''Exorides'' is offered by Marshall: The scale coverage in ''Exorides'' is highly variable, from absent to dense, including iridescent or metallic colorations. Some species are able to produce waxy secretions and filaments, but this is not common across the genus. Distribution Members of the genus ''Exorides'' can be found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. Species list The genus ...

Brachyomus
''Brachyomus'' is a Neotropical genus of broad-nosed weevils in the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Eustylini. Taxonomy ''Brachyomus'' was described for the first time by Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire in 1863 (p. 130). Description Members of the genus ''Brachyomus'' are easily confused with members of the genus ''Compsus''. Members of ''Brachyomus'' lack elytral shoulders and usually bear tubercles (four or more; there are only two in ''Compsus'' when they have them) on the broadest part of the elytra. They are usually covered by brown to whitish scales, forming some patterning; they can also bear metallic green or blue scales; some species have waxy secretions at the base of the elytral tubercles. There are thick scales rather uniform;y distributed all over the surface of the body, sometimes more densely so on the elytral tubercles. There is a key to identify most species in Faust (1892). Distribution The genus ''Brachyomus'' is distributed in Colombia, Ecuador, French ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eustylus
''Eustylus'' is a neotropical genus of broad-nosed weevils in the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Eustylini. Taxonomy ''Eustylus'' was described for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1843 (p. 40). The Central American species were treated by Champion. Marshall 1916 offers a key to most species. Description One of the most salient features of ''Eustylus'' is its broad antennal scape, densely and uniformly covered by scales (see Fig. 7F in Girón 2020 ). Some species bear a spine on the inner margin of the profemur, which is unusual for eustylines. Most species are uniformly covered by brown scales forming different patterns; metallic green species are also found.

Neotropical Realm
The Neotropical realm is one of the eight biogeographic realms constituting Earth's land surface. Physically, it includes the tropical terrestrial ecoregions of the Americas and the entire South American temperate zone. Definition In biogeography, the Neotropic or Neotropical realm is one of the eight terrestrial realms. This realm includes South America, Central America, the Caribbean islands, and southern North America. In Mexico, the Yucatán Peninsula and southern lowlands, and most of the east and west coastlines, including the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula are Neotropical. In the United States southern Florida and coastal Central Florida are considered Neotropical. The realm also includes temperate southern South America. In contrast, the Neotropical Floristic Kingdom excludes southernmost South America, which instead is placed in the Antarctic kingdom. The Neotropic is delimited by similarities in fauna or flora. Its fauna and flora are distinct ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
