Eustylus is a neotropical genus of broad-nosed weevils in the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Eustylini.[1]

Taxonomy[edit]

Eustylus was described for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1843 (p. 40).[2] The Central American species were treated by Champion.[3] Marshall 1916 offers a key to most species.[4]

Description[edit]

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 [5]). 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.

Distribution[edit]

The genus Eustylus ranges from Mexico to Paraguay, with some species represented in the Caribbean[1][6][7]
