ID confirmed by B.A. Korotyaev: Rhinoncus triangularis Say
i'll research whether any other spp. have been moved to Rhinoncus

Moved from Phytobiini.

 
taxonomy
Are all of the species that are currently in Pelenomus now in Rhinoncus? I have several species submitted earlier that I placed in Pelenomus. There does seem to be a lot of confusion in this group of weevils.

 
longulus, pyrrhopus, triangularis are all Rhinoncus
...among those you've posted; beware of Rhinoncus sulcicollis Boheman 1845 -- an East Asian sp. that has nothing to do with the all-American Pelenomus sulcicollis (FĂ„hraeus 1843)

 
i'm taking care of it
consult(1) pp.30-35 for an updated arrangement (seems to be current; Boris will help should any further questions arise) --also adopted in(2)(3)

Moved
Moved from Beetles.

could this be a Rhinoncus? say, pericarpius?

 
pericarpius
This may be one to pass on to one of the experts. According to what literature I have pericarpius does not occur near Kansas. I have specimens dating back to 1973 so would have thought that O'Brien and Wibmer 1982 would have had my data. Maybe make the ID tentative until determined to be different.

 
indeed
alas, it's easier to think of that invader now that it's all over the place...
i can ask Bob and/or Boris -- or would you like to show it around yourself?

 
triangularis?
Go ahead and show it around.
