Entimini is a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae that includes 46 described species. [1]
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]
The tribe ranges from Mexico to Argentina, with no representatives in the Caribbean islands. [4] All genera are mainly represented in Brazil. [5]

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.
Exophthalmus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. It contains 85 described species.
Agraphini is a weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae endemic to the east coast of the United States. There are only two genera known, each with one species.
The Anypotactini are a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae. It includes 81 described species.
