Amycterus is a genus of weevils belonging to the Amycterini tribe in the family Curculionidae, first described by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823.[1][2] The decisions for synonymy are based on work by Alonso-Zarazaga, M.A. and Lyal, C.H.C.[3] and Elwood Zimmerman (Aphalidura, Eustatius, Prophalidura).[1][4]
The species of this genus are found in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland the Northern Territory,[1] and Tasmania.[5]
