Entimini is a Neotropical weevil tribe in the subfamily Entiminae that includes 46 described species.^[1]

Most members of the tribe can be recognized by their relatively large and robust bodies. A key to identify the genera of Entimini can be found in Vanin & Gaiger.^[2] The Central American species are treated by Sharp & Champion,^[3]

Distribution[]

The tribe ranges from Mexico to Argentina, with no representatives in the Caribbean islands.^[4] All genera are mainly represented in Brazil.^[5]
