The species of Magdalinops are distinguished by the shining, glabrous basal segment of the compact, ovoid antennal club and by narrowly separated mesocoxae. Adults of these species have been collected on plants in either Artemisia or Chrysothamnus (Asteraceae). Two species of Anthonomini, also from western North America, are assigned to Chelonychus Dietz: C. longipes Dietz, the type species, and C. stragulus (Fall), new combination, transferred from Epimechus. The species of Chelonychus are distinguished from other anthonomines by the long, slender, strongly flexed tarsal claws. Adults of one of the species have been collected on Artemesia ludoviciana Nutt. (Asteraceae). Shared possession of exceptionally long, slender tarsal claws by species of Chelonychus and some species of Magdalinops, and common association with Artemesia are indications that the two weevil genera are closely related.10aChelonychus10aChelonychus longipes10aChelonychus stragulus10aMagdalinops10aMagdalinops alutaceus10aMagdalinops falli10aMagdalinops knowltoni10aMagdalinops vittipennis1 aClark, Wayne, E.1 aBurke, Horace, R.  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/revision-weevil-genera-magdalinops-dietz-and-chelonychus-dietz-coleoptera-curculionidae-anthonomini
