Species accepted within Brachyolus: [2]
Peristoreus is a weevil genus native to New Zealand. This genus was first described in 1877 by Theodor Franz Wilhelm Kirsch.
Rhyncogonus is a genus of beetle in family Curculionidae. The genus is endemic to islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Mecodema is a genus of large flightless ground beetle (Carabidae) endemic to New Zealand. The genus is very diverse in comparison to the other three New Zealand genera within the subtribe Nothobroscina. Mecodema is the only nothobroscine that is geographically widespread across both the North and South Islands, as well as numerous offshore islands, although a species of Diglymma is found in Wellington.
Mecodema oconnori is a large-bodied species of ground beetle endemic to the lower half of the North Island, New Zealand. It is mainly found in native forest habitats on the western side of the Tararua and Ruahine Ranges, but is also found in the Manawatu Gorge and some other eastern localities.
Otiorhynchus is a large genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae. Many species of the genus, particularly the black vine weevil and the strawberry root weevil, are important pests, both as larvae and as adults. Larvae feed on plant roots. Adults are flightless with fused elytra and feed at night on plant foliage. In many species of the genus at least some races are polyploid and parthenogenetic, while the rest of the races and species are diploid and bisexual. Otiorhynchus weevils, particularly O. scaber, have been a popular subject for studies of the evolution of parthenogenesis. The genus is native to the Palearctic region. However, sixteen species were inadvertently introduced to North America and have become widespread there.
Hadramphus, commonly known as knobbled weevils, is a genus of flightless molytine weevils from the family Curculionidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and consists of four species.
Entimus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils belonging to the family true weevil and the Entiminae subfamily.
Peritelini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.

Cyclaxyridae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The only living genus is Cyclaxyra, with two species endemic to New Zealand. Other species have been named from fossils. They are also known as sooty mould beetles due to the association of Cyclaxyra with sooty mould. The extant species are mycophagous, feeding on spores, conidia, and hyphae.
Mecodema curvidens Broun is a medium-bodied ground beetle that is geographically widespread throughout the central areas of the North Island, New Zealand, which includes the entomological regions of Auckland (AK), Waikato (WO), Coromandel (CL), Bay of Plenty (BP), Taupo (TO), Rangitikei (RI), Whanganui (WI), Hawkes Bay (HB) and Wellington (WN). Recently, the species M. occiputale Broun was synonymised under M. curvidens. Mecodema curvidens is relatively common through its range except in the southern area of the Hunua Ranges (Auckland) and Wellington regions.
Mecodema longicolle is an endemic New Zealand ground beetle, and one of the few Mecodema species found in both the North Island and South Island.
Brachyolus bagooides is a broad-nosed weevil that is endemic to New Zealand. This species can be found in private gardens in Dunedin and the Rock and Pillar Range of Otago.
