Dermatoxenus is a genus of broad-nosed weevils in the family Curculionidae. They are found in India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Japan, and Taiwan.
==Description== The body length of Dermatoxenus ranges from 8.0 to 13.0 mm. The head is transversely impressed behind the eyes, and the frons bears a median furrow between the eyes. The eyes are small, rounded, and prominent. The rostrum has a crosswise groove at the base, just in front of the eyes, and a deep central furrow with one or two shallower grooves on each side. The epistome is large and bare. The scrobe (or specialized antennal groove) is short and bends sharply downward, ending some distance before the front edge of the eye.
