The Pseudocentrinus ochraceus, commonly known as the ochraceus flower weevil, is a species of beetle belonging to the family Curculionidae, often referred to as weevils or snout beetles. It has an ochraceous (yellowish-brown) coloration, which may serve as camouflage among flowers and foliage. Adults likely feed on pollen, nectar, or other flower parts, while larvae may develop inside flowers or other plant tissues, depending on the plant host.
