The genus Heilipus Germar, 1824, (Molytinae: Hylobiini).in Mexico, Key to Separate Species
One of the limitations for the study of curculionids in Mexico is the lack of taxonomic keys at different hierarchies; therefore, in the present work, a key is provided to separate species of Heilipus German present in the country; a genus that includes species associated with Lauraceae. H. albopictus (Champion 1902) and H. lauri (Boheman 1845) are considered economically important pests, since the immature stage bores and feeds inside the trunks or fruits of Persea americana Mill.
