Amycterus is a genus of weevils belonging to the Amycterini tribe in the family Curculionidae, first described by Carl Johan Schönherr in 1823. The decisions for synonymy are based on work by Alonso-Zarazaga, M.A. and Lyal, C.H.C. and Elwood Zimmerman (Aphalidura, Eustatius, Prophalidura).
The species of this genus are found in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland the Northern Territory, and Tasmania.
