From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Haplostethops is a genus of flower weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are about eight described species in Haplostethops.[1][2][3] The genus name is masculine, contrary to some sources, following ICZN Article 30.1.4.3: "A compound genus-group name ending in -ops is to be treated as masculine, regardless of its derivation or of its treatment by its author."[4]
