Platyrhinus resinosus (Scopoli, 1763) is a weevil of Anthribidae family. This large and distinctive weevil might only be confused with the similarly large Platystomos albinus but is readily distinguished by the presence of an incomplete transverse sub-basal pronotal keel, with a little experience both are immediately recognized. 7-15mm.
