Gagatophorus is a genus of weevils belonging to the family Curculionidae, first described by Henri Jekel in 1865.[3][1][2] The decisions for synonymy are based on work by Sigmund Schenkling and G.A.K. Marshall (Pseudamycterus),[1][4] and Elwood Zimmerman (Gagatonotus and Macramycterus).[1][5]
The species of this genus are found in Western Australia.[6]
