Identify to species do not even dare ((
A weevil amazing and so the photo must be on the site :)
I want to recommend to read a very interesting essay on a similar beetle: http://www.zin.ru/animalia/coleoptera/rus/borneoab.htm
Excerpt from the commentary to this publication:
"Weevil, who met Andrei Abramov, belongs to the subfamily Conoderinae (previously - Zygopinae).This is a large group, mostly - tropical species, which includes 18 tribes, and many tens of sorts (in Russian fauna - only fragments of this subfamily - less than 10 species). To determine the instance to within a species, are not doing exactly this group of serious, very difficult. " Korotyaev BA, February 2013
Here you can define the (vague hope)?
