Nomenclatural Comment
Named after Dr Guillermo Kuschel Gerdes (1918–2017) whose research into the weevils of the Southern Hemisphere gave substantial insight into weevil classification. The ending ‘elysius’ refers to Elysium, the ‘Land of Joy’ of Antiquity, which was located by Plato at the antipodes.
