Hadromeropsis is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. [1]
There are more than 50 described species in Hadromeropsis.
Hadromeropsis was described for the first time by W. Dwight Pierce in 1913 (p. 400). [2] The Central American species were treated by Champion. [3] The genus was revised by Anne Howden in 1982: [4] It contains two subgenera: Hadromeropsis (Hadromeropsis) and Hadromeropsis (Hadrorestes).
Howden offered the following diagnosis for Hadromeropsis:
Small to large, 5 to 20 mm in length. Scales never sculptured. Posterior margin of epistoma never carinate or keeled, although margin elevated distally in a few species. Mandible with vestiture of lateral and ventral surface similar to that of rostrum. Pronotum never produced anteriorly over vertex. Female with caudal surface of ventrites 2, 3, and 4 conspicuously elevated, often perpendicular or slanted anteriorly or posteriorly, edge of caudal surface usually sharply delimited; character less developed in male.

Howden indicates that the most similar genus to Hadromeropsis is the South American genus Macropterus.
The genus Hadromeropsis has been recorded from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama.
