Moved from Magdalis.

Moved

Hi Michael,
Us beetle guys are lagging behind the lep people. At the moment they have 588 pages of thumbnails to 565 for Coleoptera. See discussion here.

Not Baris
Hi Michael,

Baris spp. always have the elytra widest in middle, or in the basal half. Your weevil has the characteristic appearance of Magdalis spp.

I do not know in which subfamily you Americans put this genus, however - Magdalinae or part of Molytinae are the variants.

cheers, Boris
