My guess is this is Artipus floridanus, anyone concur?
See picture here: http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/HS130

 
Except for size
this looks like a reasonable match to me. 9mm is almost 3/8 inch and your link gives the upper limit as 1/4 inch.

I am not sure that the webpage is all that accurate. I will look around for other references.

Yeah, weevils are so diverse. That is a nice shot you have there.
