Eurhoptus is a genus of hidden snout weevils in the family of beetles known as Curculionidae. There are at least eight described species in Eurhoptus.[1][2][3][4]
In 2018, researchers Robert S. Anderson and Michael S. Caterino revised the genus Eurhoptus, resurrecting the species E. curtus and adding five new species, E. aenigmaticus, E. cariniventris, E. imbricatus, E. occidentalis, and E. rileyi.[5]
