Peristoreus viridipennis
Peristoreus viridipennis is a species of true weevil. It is endemic to New Zealand. It is associated with plants of the genus "Muehlenbeckia". "P. viridipennis" was originally named "Erirhinus viridipennis" by Broun in 1880. Then, in 1926, Marshall described a new genus called "Dorytomodes", into which he provisionally transferred all species placed by Broun in "Erirrhinus" [="Erirhinus"]. "Dorytomodes" was subsequently sunk as a synonym of "Peristoreus" by Edwin S. ("Ted") Gourlay in 1950.
