Sympiezomias is a genus of beetles belonging to the family Curculionidae. Species are distributed throughout India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, China and Japan. Almost all species are very uniform in external structures which leads to misidentification.

Prothorax truncate at base and apex. Scutellum small. Elytra ovate, and narrowly marginate at the base. True shoulders are absent in elytra. Sternum with the narrow mesosternal epimera. Episterna narrow. Venter with rounded or subtruncate intercoxal process. In legs, femora clavate and front tibiae longer than the others.
