This insect is from Sana'a, Yemen. It is nocturnal from the family Curculionidae. One of my colleagues want to study this species, but he did not know the species or the genus of this insect. Could anyone help?
Kind regards
Please try to make clear photography under the microscope in high light thank you very much.
Most probably Vietomorpha foveipennis (Fairmaire). Tenebrionidae Spediini Salem Busais
Curculionidae family of Coleoptera but images are not clear I'm not going to genus try to better photography thank you very.
I recommend contacting Miguel Angel Alonso-Zarazaga, a great specialist in Curculionidae and a member of ResearchGate
As already said, and also as confirmed by Noel, this is Vietomorpha foveipennis (Tenebrionidae: Spediini). IT IS NOT A WEEVIL!!!
