Tonesiina

Belongs within: Conoderinae.

The Tonesiina are a pantropical group of weevils, distinguished by their non-canaliculate and usually very wide prosternum. The species Myctides imberbis has been introduced into Florida in association with the rose apple Syzygium jambos (Anderson 2002).

Characters (from Lacordaire 1866, as “Lytériides”): Prothorax with low median lobe at base; prosternum not canaliculate, almost always very wide between anterior coxae, without postcoxal process. Scutellum visible, small, usually quadrangular.
