context_page_description: Lyperobius hudsoni is a flightless weevil found in alpine areas of Central Otago and Otago Lakes in the South Island of New Zealand.
context_section_description: This weevil has a black body with distinct white or yellowish scales on the sides and middle of the pronotum and forming stripes on the elytra. These scales are easily rubbed off so that the characteristic stripes on the elytra are almost absent. In his original description, Broun described it as "remarkable on account of its elongated thorax, rostrum and scrobes." It has a relatively long and thin rostrum. Its size ranges from 11.5-21.5 mm.
