Peristoreus viridipennis is a species of true weevil. It is endemic to New Zealand.[1] It is associated with plants of the genus Muehlenbeckia.[2]
P. viridipennis was originally named Erirhinus viridipennis by Broun in 1880.[3] Then, in 1926, Marshall described a new genus called Dorytomodes, into which he provisionally transferred all species placed by Broun in Erirrhinus [=Erirhinus].[4] Dorytomodes was subsequently sunk as a synonym of Peristoreus by Edwin S. ("Ted") Gourlay in 1950.[5]
