Interesting...
I have a photo of Korean weevil that is similar to this one.

My weevil is a member of Demiaeina, Tychiini.
I guess your weevil is in the same genus or its relative...

Is "weevil" a slang term for snout beetle?

Arnett writes "The ancient word, weevil, refers to any small beetle infesting grain."

Pests
I think "weevil" was traditionally used for crop-damaging pest species.

Although I am not native,
I think "weevil" is more academic than "snout beetles."

"slang term for snout beetle"
no clue -- ask native speakers :-]
(to me, they both sound like legitimate common names of that large group of beetles)
