Taxonomy

The genus ''Lachnopus'' was named for the first time by

Carl Johan Schönherr Carl Johan Schönherr (10 June 1772 – 28 March 1848) was a Swedish people, Swedish entomologist who revised the Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy of beetles, including weevils by examining all the descriptions of beetles since the time of Linnaeus. H ...

Entiminae 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 co ...

Then considered among the Barynotini in van Emden (1944) and O'Brien and Wibmer (1982), a widespread assemblage of weevils which is now known as the Geonemini. The identity of ''Lachnopus'' has been questioned, specifically regarding its distinctness from ''

''. The status of Lachnopus as a separate genus was confirmed by Franz (2012). ''Lachnopus'' is currently the most diverse and one of the most widespread groups of entimine weevils in the Caribbean Region. Girón et al. (2018) recognized six species groups within the genus, partly based on results of a previous morphology-based phylogenetic study.
