Gonipterus Schoenherr, 1833 - (Eucalyptus weevils)

This genus includes around 20 species of weevils that are mostly native to Australia. Several species are specialised in feeding on eucalypt trees and some of these have become invasive pests outside Australia. For example, the eucalypt snout beetle, Gonipterus scutellatus, has reached a nearly worldwide distribution and has became an important leaf-feeding pest capable of defoliating trees.

The adults typically have a length of 10-15 mm with a short snout. The larvae are legless and slug-like, yellowish green with dark lateral stripes in the last instars.
