Pachyrhynchus, also known as easter egg weevils, is a genus of weevils in the family Curculionidae. Most species are found on Southeast Asian islands.
==Description== Pachyrhynchus have aposematic coloration. They are flightless, with completely fused elytra. The eggs are inserted into plant tissues. The larvae will then develop and feed inside the stems of the host plants.
