Exophthalmus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. It contains 85 described species.




Taxonomy


Exophthalmus was named for the first time by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823 (column 1140). It belongs in the tribe Eustylini.
In revising the Jamaican species, Vaurie offers an overview to the genus and its taxonomic conflicts. A preliminary phylogeny for Exophthalmus and its allies was presented by Franz. It is part of the so-called "Exophthalmus genus complex" which involves members of the genera Diaprepes, Compsus, Lachnopus, among others. Based on morphological and molecuelar evidence, it has been proposed that the genus needs to be reclassified to better reflect the actual distribution of natural clades.




Description


In general, Exophthalmus species are characterized by the smooth and broad longitudinal bridge running longitudinally across the rostrum. There is a lot of variation in sizes, density, coloration, and patterning of the scale coverage.




Distribution


Species of this genus are present in Central America, northern South America and the Caribbean.
