Eucorynus crassicornis is a species of fungus weevil in the beetle family Anthribidae,[1] which was first described in 1801 by Johan Christian Fabricius as Anthribus crassicornis,[1][2] from specimen(s) collected in Sumatra.[2]
It has been found in South Korea (Jeju Island), Japan, Far East Russia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, India,[3] and Australia.[1][4]
In Indonesia, this weevil damages the pods and seeds of the legume crops Crotalaria striata, other Crotalaria species, and those of Leucaena leucocephala.[5] In Kerala, it has been found to be a major destroyer of stored bamboo.[6]
