Entimini is a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae that includes 46 described species. [1]

Contents

Most members of the tribe can be recognized by their relatively large and robust bodies. A key to identify the genera of Entimini can be found in Vanin & Gaiger. [2] The Central American species are treated by Sharp & Champion, [3]

Distribution

The tribe ranges from Mexico to Argentina, with no representatives in the Caribbean islands. [4] All genera are mainly represented in Brazil. [5]

Entiminae Subfamily of beetles

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.
