Eupholus is a genus of beetle in the family Curculionidae. The species include some of the most colourful of the weevils. The color likely serves as a warning to predators that they are distasteful. Most species feed upon yam leaves, which are toxic to some animals. The species occur in PNG, West Irian, and adjacent Islands.
