***Peristoreus stramineus*** is a species of [true weevil](/source/True_weevil). It is endemic to [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand).[2] The larvae develop in flower buds of *[Hoheria populnea](/source/Hoheria_populnea)*.[3]

*P. stramineus* was originally named *Erirhinus stramineus* by [Broun](/source/Thomas_Broun) in 1881.[4] Then, in 1926, [Marshall](/source/Guy_Anstruther_Knox_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](/source/North_Island) (including nearby offshore islands, e.g. [Poor Knights](/source/Poor_Knights_Islands)), south to the [Hawke's Bay Region](/source/Hawke's_Bay_Region).[7] It has also been reported from the [South Island](/source/South_Island) ([Banks Peninsula](/source/Banks_Peninsula)), as a seed predator in fruit of *[Hoheria angustifolia](/source/Hoheria_angustifolia)*.[8]
