Enteles vigorsii is a weevil in the Curculionidae family, which is found on the east coast of Australia.[1]
These weevils have been found in the reproductive structures of cycads and are thought to assist in their pollination.[2]
The species was first described by Leonard Gyllenhaal in 1837,[3][4] who authored the description within Carl Johan Schönherr's 1837 tome on the Curculionidae.[4]
