Ithycyphus

Ithycyphus is a rarely used and somewhat obscure genus name formerly applied to certain species of weevils. The validity and current application of the genus name are disputed in modern taxonomy. It is generally considered outdated and not in current scientific usage. The species formerly classified under Ithycyphus have likely been reclassified into other, more well-defined genera within the weevil family (Curculionidae). To find the current accepted classification of a specific species once classified as Ithycyphus, one would need to consult updated taxonomic databases and phylogenetic studies of Curculionidae. The name Ithycyphus itself does not carry any specific biological or etymological significance beyond its historical use in insect classification.
