Hadromeropsis is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae.[1]
There are more than 50 described species in Hadromeropsis.
Taxonomy[]
Hadromeropsis was described for the first time by W. Dwight Pierce in 1913 (p. 400).[2] The Central American species were treated by Champion.[3] The genus was revised by Anne Howden in 1982:[4] It contains two subgenera: Hadromeropsis (Hadromeropsis) and Hadromeropsis (Hadrorestes).
Description[]
Howden offered the following diagnosis for Hadromeropsis:
Small to large, 5 to 20 mm in length. Scales never sculptured. Posterior margin of epistoma never carinate or keeled, although margin elevated distally in a few species. Mandible with vestiture of lateral and ventral surface similar to that of rostrum. Pronotum never produced anteriorly over vertex. Female with caudal surface of ventrites 2, 3, and 4 conspicuously elevated, often perpendicular or slanted anteriorly or posteriorly, edge of caudal surface usually sharply delimited; character less developed in male.

Howden indicates that the most similar genus to Hadromeropsis is the South American genus Macropterus.
Distribution[]
The genus Hadromeropsis has been recorded from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, and Panama.
