the good news here is that the profemoral tooth's in plain sight
...which is rarely the case [and this is an important feature]
the bad news is, no dorsal view and no profile of the head, which makes the chances to get anywhere beyond genus rather slim...
but few images ger species IDs anyway: it's a tough group in dire need of revision (some weevil experts decline to ID them even from specimens)

Moved from ID Request.

weevil pix
It has taken me long enough, but I have added some additional photos that show the requested views. Please take a look and see what you think. I added both head and dorsal views.

Thanks, Lisa
