We summarize knowledge of the weevil tribe Cleonini worldwide, including its monophyly, relationships, distribution, biology, immature stages, economic significance and paleontology. [] Key Method We score adult morphological characters for 79 of a total of 96 extant genus-group Cleonini taxa considered valid to date. The resulting matrix contains 121 parsimoniously informative characters scored for 145 ingroup (Cleonini) and 29 outgroup terminals. Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Bayesian Inference (BI) analyses…

Purealusbeckelorum, a new genus and species of cleonine weevil from western Texas and eastern New Mexico (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Lixinae, Cleonini)
- BiologyZooKeys
- 2018
The new genus Purealus Anderson is described to accommodate a new species of cleonine weevil from western Texas and eastern New Mexico that cannot be placed in either Apleurus or Scaphomorphus due to a combination of characters in part shared by each genus and the lack of characters used to define the monophyly of each genus.

Results confirm that the morphology of the immature stages, which is usually overlooked, can be very important for the purpose of identifying new characters that are useful for clarifying taxonomical and phylogenetic complex situations based only on the study of the imagoes.

Relationships between the Mediterranean and southern African genera oFCleonini (Curculionidae) were assessed using preliminary phylogenetic analysis and palaeohistorical reconstruction by maximum likelihood inference of ancestral distributions, suggesting that the faunas of the two regions were connected only during the early stages of radiation of the tribe.
