Peristoreus stramineus is a species of true weevil. It is endemic to New Zealand. [2] The larvae develop in flower buds of Hoheria populnea. [3]
P. stramineus was originally named Erirhinus stramineus by Broun in 1881. [4] Then, in 1926, Marshall described a new genus called Dorytomodes, into which he provisionally transferred all species placed by Broun in Erirrhinus [=Erirhinus]. [5] Dorytomodes was subsequently sunk as a synonym of Peristoreus by Edward S. ("Ted") Gourlay in 1950. [6]
P. stramineus has been found in the northern North Island (including nearby offshore islands, e.g. Poor Knights), south to the Hawke's Bay Region. [7] It has also been reported from the South Island ( Banks Peninsula), as a seed predator in fruit of Hoheria angustifolia. [8]
