Systematics and Biogeography of the New World Genus <i>Plumolepilius</i> (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

<i>Plumolepilius</i> Barrios-Izás & Anderson, 2016 is a leaf litter weevil genus that inhabits montane broadleaf forests from southern Mexico to northern Panama. The genus consists of 27 species, 22 distributed in the Chiapas Highlands province (Mexican Transition Zone) and 5 found i...
