The Exophthalmus broad-nosed weevil refers to a group of beetles within the family Curculionidae, specifically in the genus Exophthalmus. These weevils are characterized by a broad, flattened body and a distinctively broad rostrum (snout) that is often a defining feature of weevils in general. The term "exophthalmus" typically refers to the condition of having bulging eyes, which may relate to the physical appearance of some species within this genus.
