Hadramphus (synonym: Karocolens), commonly known as knobbled weevils, is a genus of flightless molytine weevils from the family Curculionidae. It is endemic to New Zealand and consists of four species.
The type species Hadramphus spinipennis was designated by Thomas Broun in 1911. Hadramphus pittospori was described by Guillermo Kuschel within the new genus Karocolens in 1987 but placed by Robin Craw into the genus Hadramphus in 1999. Hadramphus tuberculatus was described by Francis Polkinghorne Pascoe as Lyperobius tuberculatus in 1877 but transferred by Kuschel into the genus Hadramphus in 1971. The fourth species Hadramphus stilbocarpae was described by Kuschel in 1971.
