The New Zealand giraffe weevil, Lasiorhynchus barbicornis, is a highly distinctive, straight-snouted weevil endemic to New Zealand. L. barbicornis is New Zealand's longest beetle: males measure up to 90 mm, and females 50 mm. In males the elongated snout or rostrum can be nearly as long as the body. Its Māori names include pepeke nguturoa ("long-beaked beetle"), tūwhaipapa, and tūwhaitara, the latter two after the Māori god of newly-made canoes, because its canoe-like body and upturned rostrum resemble a waka and prow.
