''Isodacrys'' is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are 20 described species in ''Isodacrys'', ranging from the southern United States of America to Honduras. Natural history ''Isodacrys'' species are distributed from south of the United States of America to Honduras, mainly across Mexican and Central American mountain ranges of ~1500–3100 meters above sea level; some species also occur in lowlands. The adults of ''Isodacrys'' have been found in ''Quercus'', ''Pinus'' and in other plants of different families as Asteraceae, Fabaceae, Rhamnaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Betulaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae. Some adults have been collected from leaf litter and under rocks. Immature stages remain unknown. Species These 13 species belong to the genus ''Isodacrys'': * ''Isodacrys apicale'' Howden, 1961 * ''Isodacrys brevirostre'' Howden, 1961 * ''Isodacrys buchanani'' Howden, 1961 * ''Isodacrys burkei'' Howden, 1961 * ''Isodacrys crispum'' Howden, 1961 ...

Broad-nosed Weevil
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 ''Pachyrhynchus, Pachyrrhynchus''. In comparison with their stunning diversity, only a few of these weevils are notorious pest (organism), pests of major economic importance. Entimines are commonly encountered in the field, including urban environments, and abundant in entomological collections. Diversity There are over 12,000 described species in the Entiminae subfamily worldwide, distributed in over 1,370 genera, which total nearly 14,000 by more recent counts. Most tribes are represented in only one biogeographic region of the world. The current classification within the subfamily has been recognized as artificial rather than reflecting natural groups. General morphology Besides the shape of their broad and short rostrum, most entimines are easily recognized by the prese ...
