Isodacrys

Rostrum deflexum; pronotum elongatum; coxæ anteriores leviter distantes; tibiæ anteriores denticulatæ.

This genus is proposed for four very small apterous Otiorhynchids having some resemblance to Pandeleteius and various allied forms in the winged series. The rostrum is very short, provided with slender scrobes, placed laterally and abruptly bent, so as to reach the under surface at a considerable distance from the eye; the buccal cavity is rather small and filled by the mentum, which is broader than long; the nasal plate is quite small; the head is broad; the eyes are round, lateral, placed a short distance in front of the thorax; the antennæ are short, the scape slender, not so long as the width of the head between the eyes, but slightly longer than the width of the apex of the rostrum, the funiculus very short, except its first joint, the club short, oval, compact. Pronotum greatly longer than the prosternum. Coxæ placed near the front of the latter, and far from its base, minutely but distinctly separated from one another. Metasternum short, hind coxæ rather widely separated; first and second ventral plates subequal, the latter quite as long as the third and fourth together. Legs short and stout; anterior tibiæ denticulate and mucronate; tarsal claws small, free.

Isodacrys is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the beetle family Curculionidae. There are 20 described species in Isodacrys, ranging from the southern United States of America to Honduras.
