Ormiscus albofasciatus

Japanese Fungus Weevil

Ozotomerus japonicus

i found one of these familiar-looking anthribids (i've seen a lot in the Far East) in Essex Co., NJ before i joined BG and became familiar with the nearctic fauna. i didn't think much of it: after all, many genera exhibit the E Asia + e NA distributi

Identification: TYPE: USNM, Smithsonian Coll. A very distinctive member of the fly-mimicking complex described by Hespenheide (1973).

Scarce Fungus Weevil

Platyrhinus resinosus

This is truly an odd looking creature and could hardly be confused with anything else, except perhaps the Platystomos species. The mix of dark and light areas on the elytra may vary, but the general appearance does not - the 'face' is always lighter

Platystomos albinus

Length 7 to 10 mm. There is strong sexual dimorphism with the male having antennae as long as the body, but these are shorter in the female. There may also be variation in colour from grey to fawn and brown. The white markings vary in size and may be

Pseudochoragus nitens

Trigonorhinus griseus

Identification: Each elytron without a prominent discal brown spot; sometimes a dark sutural stripe present

Trigonorhinus limbatus

This sp. is being slowly reduced to isolated populations by competition with a related phenotype - T. l. vestitus (Say). I believe vestitus emerged from a hybrid stew ( limbatus x griseus (LeC.) originating in Texas, spreading and out-competing the t

Trigonorhinus riddelliae

Barry Valentine, pers. comm. to =v=, 2009: "The Arizona Trigonorhinus was named riddelliae by Schaeffer, 1906. Based on the female ovipositor, I have considered it a subspecies of T. griseus (Leconte) described from Colorado, but have no proof that t

Trigonorhinus sticticus

Identification: Each elytron with a prominent discal brown spot Det. V. Belov, 2020

Trigonorhinus tomentosus

Identification: Species shows a great deal of variation (leading to multiple synonyms) "due to geographic and seasonal variation involving clines from north to south, east to west, and summer to fall."
