This species group mainly differs from other Naupactus by the presence of a pair of tubercles at the apex of the elytra. It ranges in Argentina, southern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay, in areas that belong to the biogeographic provinces of Atlantic, Araucaria and Paraná forests, Yungas, Chaco and Pampa. Naupactus xanthographus is broadly distributed in Argentina, mainly in the Pampean province, and it was introduced in central Chile, where it is considered a serious pest of grapes and several fruit trees. The remaining species are partially sympatric in the subtropical forests of southern Brazil, and N. dissimulator ranges along the gallery forests of Paraná and Uruguay rivers, down to La Plata River. It has been reported damaging citrus and ‘yerba mate’, like N. navicularis and N. dissimilis. The new species N. marvaldiae ranges in southern Brazil and north-eastern Argentina (Misiones), and differs from N. dissimulator, mainly by the very short elytra, the apical tubercles welldeveloped in males and females, the broader front femora, and the different shape of the apex of the penis. The other four species are probably more closely related and they separate from the pair N. dissimulator–N. marvaldiae because of the slightly widened front femora, well-developed corbels of the hind tibiae, and short to indistinct nodulus of the spermatheca.http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:051587DD-37C2-4216-AA61-0E563BB44D6410aFruit weevils10ageographic distribution10aNeotropics10aSouth America10ataxonomy1 aLanteri, Analía, A.1 adel Río, Guadalupe  uhttps://doi.org/10.1080/00222933.2017.134671501431nas a2200157   4500008004100000022001400041245014700055210006900202260000800271300001200279490000800291520087900299100002401178700002501202856004601227       2011                        eng d  a1313-297000aObrieniolus, a new monotypic genus of Naupactini (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae) from the Peruvian Andes and its phylogenetic placement0 aObrieniolus a new monotypic genus of Naupactini Coleoptera Curcu  cfeb  a51–600 v1023 aA new monotypic genus of Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Obrieniolus del R&iacute;o is described based on the new species Obrieniolus robustus del R&iacute;o, endemic to Peru.

The morphological and the combined matrices analyzed with TNT yielded a single most parsimonious cladogram that allows recognition of two main lineages within the Pantomorus-Naupactus complex in North and Central America. One is represented by the species formerly placed in Phacepholis and the Pantomorus species group II sensu Sharp, ranging along the Pacific coast of Central America and Mexico and reaching the Great Plains of North America in the United States, yet not occurring in South America. The other lineage is represented by the species of Naupactus and Pantomorus species group I, with closer relationships to the South American species of these genera. The Pantomorus group I includes the type species of the genus (P. albosignatus Boheman) whereas the Pantomorus group II includes the type species of Athetetes Pascoe, 1886 (A. globicollis Pascoe). Based on the results of our phylogenetic analysis, we recommend retaining the name Pantomorus Schoenherr for most species of the Pantomorus group I, except P. stupidus (Boheman) and P. femoratus Sharp which should be transferred to Naupactus Dejean. Moreover, we enlarge the previous concept of Phacepholis to include most species of the Pantomorus group II, and we establish the synonymy of Athetetes Pascoe, 1886 with Phacepholis Horn, 1876, being the latter the valid name, by priority.1 aRosas, María, V.1 aMorrone, Juan, J.1 adel Río, Guadalupe1 aLanteri, Analía, A.  uhttps://biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.2780.1.101371nas a2200181   4500008004100000022001400041245010500055210006900160260000800229300001400237490000700251520079800258100002501056700001601081700002401097700002201121856004601143       2013                        eng d  a1678-805200aOn the Presence of Five Species of Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) Damaging Soybean in Brazil0 aPresence of Five Species of Naupactini Coleoptera Curculionidae   cjun  a325–3270 v423 aWe report five broad-nosed weevils of the tribe Naupactini, Naupactus leucoloma Boheman, Naupactus minor (Buchanan), Naupactus peregrinus (Buchanan), Naupactus tremolerasi Hustache and Pantomorus viridisquamosus (Boheman) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) damaging soybean plants in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The selected species belong to five genera of the tribe Naupactini affecting economically important crops. Until present, five of the 10 species analyzed here have invaded prairies and steppes of countries outside South America (Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, United States, and South Africa) : Aramigus tessellatus (Say), Atrichonotussordidus (Hustache), Atrichonotus taeniatulus (Berg), Naupactus leucoloma Boheman, and Naupactus peregrinus (Buchanan). Our niche modeling analyses performed with MAXENT demonstrated that these areas would be also suitable for Aramigus conirostris (Hustache), Eurymetopus fallax (Boheman), Pantomorus auripes Hustache, Pantomorus ruizi (Brèthes), and Pantomorus viridisquamosus (Boheman), consequently, they also have the potential to invade areas outside their native ranges, mainly in southeastern United States, some European countries (e.g., Portugal, France, and southern England), South Africa, New Zealand, and southeastern Australia. All the studied species share similar environmental requirements, the most important variables being the Mean Temperature of Driest Quarter, the Annual Mean Temperature and Isothermality. Long distance dispersal through commercial trade, and parthenogenetic reproduction would increase the threat of these weevils to crop production worldwide.1 aLanteri, Analía, A.1 aGuzmán, Noelia, V.1 adel Río, Guadalupe1 aConfalonieri, Viviana, A.  uhttps://bioone.org/journals/Environmental-Entomology/volume-42/issue-4/EN12297/Potential-Geographic-Distributions-and-Successful-Invasions-of-Parthenogenetic-Broad-Nosed/10.1603/EN12297.full02572nas a2200289   4500008004100000245017900041210006900220260000800289300000700297490000700304520162900311653001101940653002401951653002201975653001401997653001102011653002202022653002202044653002502066653002502091100002602116700002402142700002402166700002402190700002502214856004302239       2018                        eng d00aA combined molecular and morphological approach to explore the higher phylogeny of entimine weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), with special reference to South American taxa0 acombined molecular and morphological approach to explore the hig  csep  a950 v103 aThe Entiminae are broad-nosed weevils constituting the most diverse subfamily of Curculionidae, with over 50 tribes. We performed Bayesian and Maximum Parsimony combined phylogenetic analyses with the main objective of testing higher-level relationships and the naturalness of the major Neotropical and Southern South American (Patagonia and Andes) tribes, including some members from other regions. We compiled a data matrix of 67 terminal units with 63 Entiminae species, as well as four outgroup taxa from Cyclominae, by 3522 molecular (from nuclear 18S rDNA and 28S rDNA, and mitochondrial 16S rDNA and COI gene sequences) and 70 morphological characters. The resulting trees recover a clade Entiminae with a monophyletic Cylydrorhinini and Premnotrypes branching off early. The tree resulting from parsimony analysis shows a clade of Leptopiini from the Australian region and another clade including taxa mainly distributed in the Palaearctic and Neotropical regions, but in the Bayesian tree the South American and Australian Leptopiini are grouped together. The mainly Palaearctic Entiminae (e.g., Brachyderini, Laparocerini, Otiorhynchini, Peritelini, Polydrusini, Phyllobiini and Sciaphylini) form a subclade separated from Southern Hemisphere taxa. Among the latter, the well-supported Naupactini are the sister group of the South American Tanymecini, excluding Platyaspistes, herein transferred to Leptopiini (new placement). Another well-justified clade is Eustylini&ndash;Geonemini, which also includes the enigmatic Galapagonotus, and the genus Artipus, thus corroborating its recent exclusion from Naupactini.10aadults10abroad-nosed weevils10acombined evidence10aEntiminae10alarvae10amitochondrial COI10aribosomal markers10astructural alignment10atribal relationships1 aMarvaldi, Adriana, E.1 adel Río, Guadalupe1 aPereyra, Vanina, A.1 aRocamundi, Nicolás1 aLanteri, Analía, A.  uhttps://www.mdpi.com/1424-2818/10/3/9501483nas a2200145   4500008004100000022001400041245009700055210006900152300001200221490000800233520100100241100002401242700002501266856004601291       2013                        eng d  a1313-297000aTaxonomic revision of the genus Stenocyphus Marshall (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from Brazil0 aTaxonomic revision of the genus Stenocyphus Marshall Coleoptera   a29–430 v3573 aStenocyphus Marshall, 1922 (Entiminae, Naupactini) includes three species: the type species S. bituberosus (Gyllenhal, 1833), S. tuberculatus (Hustache, 1938), comb. n. herein transferred from Neoericydeus Hustache, 1938, and S. sextuberosus sp. n.

In this tree Cyrtomon hirsutus (Hustache) is the sister species of Mendozella curvispinis (Hustache), consequently we establish the new combination Mendozella hirsuta (Hustache), and herein consider that the genus Mendozella includes two species, both from Mendoza province, Argentina.

This genus ranges in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo, mainly in the Atlantic forest of Brazil, and includes three other species. Stenocyphus costae sp. nov., distinguishes from the remaining species of Stenocyphus by the green iridescent scaly vestiture, having long stiff setae on the two pairs of elytral tubercles; the more slender rostrum; the shorter antennae; the convex disc of the pronotum; and the shorter and broader elytra. This paper includes a cladogram of the Naupactini genera showing the phylogenetic position of the new species, its complete description, photographs of male and female habitus, line drawings of genitalia of both sexes, and a key of the Stenocyphus species.10aHadropus10aNeotropical region10aSouth America10aStenocyphus1 adel Río, Guadalupe1 aLanteri, Analía, A.  uhttp://www.periodicos.usp.br/paz/article/view/16396502278nas a2200145   4500008004100000022001400041245010000055210006900155300001400224490000700238520177500245100002502020700002402045856006302069       2016                        eng d  a1365-311300aPhylogeny of the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) based on morphological characters0 aPhylogeny of the tribe Naupactini Coleoptera Curculionidae based  a429–4470 v423 aNaupactini (Curculionidae: Entiminae) is a primarily Neotropical tribe of broad-nosed weevils with its highest genus and species diversity in South America. Despite several taxonomic contributions published during the last decades, the evolutionary history of Naupactini remains poorly understood. We present the first comprehensive phylogenetic analysis for this tribe based on a data matrix of 100 adult morphological characters scored for 70 species, representing 55 genera of Naupactini (ingroup) and four outgroups belonging to the entimine tribes Otiorhynchini, Entimini, Eustylini and Tanymecini. According to the most parsimonious tree Artipus does not belong to Naupactini; the genera with flat and broad antennae, formerly assigned to other entimine tribes, form a monophyletic group (Saurops (Curiades (Aptolemus (Platyomus)))) related to the clade (Megalostylus (Megalostylodes (Chamaelops Wagneriella))); and the genera distributed along the high Andes, Paramos and Puna form a natural group (Asymmathetes (Amphideritus (Leschenius (Amitrus (Obrieniolus (Melanocyphus Trichocyphus)))))), nested within a larger clade that includes Pantomorus, Naupactus and allied genera. Atrichonotus, Hoplopactus, Mimographus and Naupactus are not recovered as monophyletic. In order to address the taxonomic implications of our phylogenetic analysis, we propose the following nomenclatural changes: to transfer Artipus from Naupactini to Geonemini, to revalidate the genera Mimographopsis (type species M. viridicans), and to revalidate the genus Floresianus (type species F. sordidus). The evolution of selected characters is discussed.

Two different morphotypes are distinguished by characters of the vestiture: one from Itaji, with integument brown, smooth, and vestiture mostly setose; the other from Ibiraba with integument black, rugose and vestiture mostly squamose. Thoraconaupactus is similar to Naupactus Dejean and Teratopactus Heller in several characters, and shows some unique features such as the strongly transverse pronotum with a sub-basal tooth-like projection on each side. Specimens were collected in association with a species of Leucaena (Fabaceae). The paper includes habitus photographs and line drawings of genitalia, mouthparts, and other external features of taxonomic value.1 adel Río, Guadalupe1 aLanteri, Analía, A.  uhttps://bioone.org/journals/Entomological-News/volume-118/issue-5/0013-872X(2007)118[459:TANBGO]2.0.CO;2/Thoraconaupactus-A-New-Brazilian-Genus-Of-Broad-Nosed-Weevil-Coleoptera/10.3157/0013-872X(2007)118[459:TANBGO]2.0.CO;2.full02340nas a2200253   4500008004100000245015000041210006900191260000800260300000700268490000700275520150800282653004001790653002401830653000801854653002201862653001501884653002301899653001401922100002401936700002801960700003001988700002502018856004302043       2018                        eng d00aMolecular and morphological phylogenetic analysis of Naupactus Dejean (Curculionidae: Entiminae) and allied genera: the dilemma of classification0 aMolecular and morphological phylogenetic analysis of Naupactus D  csep  a590 v103 aNaupactus (Curculionidae: Entiminae) is the most speciose weevil genus of the tribe Naupactini. The main objective of this work is to recognize species groups within Naupactus and to analyze the relationships between this and other Neotropical genera. For this purpose, we compiled a combined data matrix of 60 terminal units corresponding to 40 species for which we recorded 812 molecular and morphological characters (763 and 49 respectively), which were analyzed by Maximum Parsimony and Bayesian analyses. The single tree obtained from each analysis was rooted with Cyrtomon inhalatus. The species of Naupactus were recovered as different monophyletic groups, some of them closer to other genera of Naupactini (Lanterius, Teratopactus, Pantomorus and Parapantomorus) than to species of the same genus. We conclude that Naupactus is non-monophyletic, even though most species can be recognized based on a particular combination of morphological characters, which are probably symplesiomorphic. To be consistent with the cladistic principles, some genera diversified in marginal areas of the Pantomorus-Naupactus complex should be synonymized with Naupactus; however, these nomenclatural changes may not ensure a generic definition based on synapomorphies. We prefer to be conservative about the current classification until more evidence is available. The only nomenclatural amendments proposed herein are the transference of Naupactus inermis Hustache to Lanterius and of N. setarius to Symmathetes.10a\textitPantomorus-Naupactus complex10abroad-nosed weevils10aCOI10acombined evidence10aNaupactini10aNeotropical region10aphylogeny1 adel Río, Guadalupe1 aRodriguero, Marcela, S.1 aConfalonieri, Viviana, A.1 aLanteri, Analía, A.  uhttps://www.mdpi.com/1424-2818/10/3/59
