Abstract - The genera Dochorhynchus Desbrochers, 1897 and Chionostagon nov. (Col., Curculionidae, Brachyderinae) - The genus Dochorhynchus Desbrochers, 1897 is a synonym of Tropiphorus Schoenherr, 1842: its type species, Dochorynchus caudulatus Desbrochers, 1897, is a synonym of Tropiphorus styriacus (Bedel, 1883) after the type specimens. This genus must be deleted from the Iberian list of Brachyderinae. Moreover, a new genus, Chionostagon, is erected for Sciaphilomorphus albosquamulatus (Reitter, 1907), comb. nov. A key to the known Iberian genera of the tribe Brachyderini is given.
