Apodrosus is a Caribbean genus of broad-nosed weevils in the subfamily Entiminae, tribe Polydrusini.[1]

Taxonomy

The genus Apodrosus was described for the first time by Sir Guy A. K. Marshall in 1922 (p. 59). [2]

The type species of the genus is Apodrosus wolcotti, from Puerto Rico.[2]
Description

Small weevils (3–7 mm) of variable coloration ranging from grey to metallic green.[3][4] They bear a large, triangular, glabrous nasal plate at the apical region of the rostrum.
Distribution

Apodrosus is distributed across the Caribbean region with representatives in The Bahamas, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Puerto Rico, and Turks and Caicos Islands. [3][4]
