Abstract
The lasoda weevil, Barioscapus cordiae (Marshall) is redescribed with digital images of habitus, morphometric details and images of diagnostic characters. The monotypic weevil genus Barioscapus Pajni and Kohli is easily recognised from other genera in the tribe by the presence of very closely related proxcoxae, antennae inserted at two-third length of rostrum from base, scape remote from eyes, prosternum without a depression before coxae, and exposed pygidium. The first DNA barcode was obtained and reported for molecular identification using cytochrome oxidase I (COI). The estimated total percentage of damage to fruits and seeds caused by B. cordiae to Cordia myxa was 82.07–88.08 %.
