Genus Merhynchites Sharp View in CoL
Type species. Curculio bicolor Fabricius, 1775 View in CoL , subsequent designation by Pierce (1913).
Generic diagnosis. Merhynchites View in CoL can be recognized by the larger size (greater than 4 mm), by the more-or-less indistinct elytral striae (more distinct in Merhynchites bicolor View in CoL ) that are weakly impressed especially basally, by the flat and sometimes rugose interstriae that is twice as wide as striae, and by the fine, semi-erect setae.
