Pachnaeus

A genus including a few species from the Antilles and Florida, one of which has been recorded from Mexico, but this locality seems to require confirmation. They are all of rather large size, and densely, uniformly clothed with whitish, pale yellow, blue, or green opaque scales. The prothorax is strongly bisinuate at the base in P. opalus and P. litus, more feebly so in P. distans, and the anterior margin also is sinuate on each side beneath, and the vibrissæ are well developed.

Pachnaeus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. There are about seven described species in Pachnaeus.
