'''''Eupholus''''' is a genus of [beetle](/source/beetle) in the family [Curculionidae](/source/Curculionidae). The genus includes some of the most colourful of the weevils. The colour may serve as a warning to predators that they are distasteful. Most species feed upon yam leaves, some of which are toxic to other animals. The species occur in [New Guinea](/source/New_Guinea) and adjacent islands. This genus was described by French entomologist [Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Dechauffour de Boisduval](/source/Jean_Baptiste_Boisduval) in 1835.
