These weevils are of interest because of their association with the pehuen or monkey puzzle tree, Araucaria araucana, a species of conservation concern. Their distribution data are of value for the protection of biodiversity in natural areas of Patagonia. The potential distribution of Oxycraspedus, as predicted by a model using bioclimatic variables, is coincident as expected, with the geographic range of the araucaria host-plant.10aOxycraspedus1 aFerrer, M.S.1 aMarvaldi, A., E.1 aTognelli, M.F.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/first-records-three-species-oxycraspedus-kuschel-coleoptera-belidae-argentina-and-use-predictive-mod
