Eustylini


Eustylini is a primarily Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae.

Taxonomy

The tribe Eustylini was named for the first time by Jean-Baptiste [Henri Lacordaire] in 1863, although, when first named, the tribe only contained three genera: Aptolemus, Brachystylus, and Eustylus.
In 1986 the Eustylini contained most of its current genera, mostly due to revised taxonomic placements made by Guillermo Kuschel. The latest additions were made by Franz in 2012 by transferring former members of other tribes including Geonemini, Phyllobiini, and Tanymecini.
The type species of some genera were redescribed by Franz. Most species of Eustylini are only known from their original descriptions.
