On the Argentinean species of Aegorhinus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

The weevil genus Aegorhinus Erichson, which belongs to the tribe Aterpini (Curculionidae: Cyclominae), is one of the rnost characteristic insect taxa of the Subantarctic biogeographic province of southern Argentina and Chile. Aegorhinus can be easily distinguished from Alastoropolus Kuschel by its r...
