402C6D40664E7E31AFDDFBE3FAF7B5EE.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: A redefinition of the characters that separate the Curculionini from the rest of the Coleoptera are as follows: Rostrum long, tubular, usually longer in female; glabrous after insertion of scape except for tufts of long seta-like scales near apex in some species. Mandibles subtriangular, hanging down, moving vertically not transversely opposed. Antennae geniculate with scape of variable lengths, funicle seven antennomeres, club with three annulations with four distinct parts; totaling 11 parts. Prothorax in some taxa at most with indications of postocular lobes. Scutellum evident with circumscutellar impression or not. Scales of thorax, elytra, legs, and venter are either decumbent or recumbent. Elytra with ten intervals, tomentose, squamose and at times with erect seta-like scales of variable lengths and many species with apical crosshatched seta-like scales of varying lengths. Distance between mesocoxae less than or equal to diameter of mesocoxa. Pygidium not covered in male, with some exceptions as in Timolina. Pro-, and mesotibae normally uncinate, metatibia may be uncinate, mucronate, or with inner hook or similar type appendage in males of certain genera, lacking in females. Tarsal claws appendiculate or bifid and free except in Timola with simple free claws, and Ergania and Pimelata with connate, simple claws.	en	Pelsue, Frank W., O’Brien, Charles W.

402C6D40664F7E30AFDDFF73FB65B229.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: The genus Archarius Gistel (1856) status restored by Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal (1999) was proposed as Balanobius Jekel (1861) and later placed as a subgenus of Curculio Roelofs (1874) and proposed as Longifustulia Hong and Wang (1987). We propose to separate the genera Archarius, Koreoculio, and Pagumia in a new subtribe based on the following characteristics: small size, three millimeters or less; antennal club more oval than acuminate somewhat tear-shaped; distinctive pronotum widest in middle as measured in dorsal view, with base narrower by 0.1 mm than middle; base of pronotum subsinuate; hind femur with small tooth; mesosternal intercoxal process somewhat depressed not visible in lateral view; pygidium covered by apex of elytra in dorsal view, but males in posterior view taking on various characteristics, and in female one diagonostic characteristic defining species, not shared by all Curculionini; occurs primarily in the Palearctic and Oriental regions.	en	Pelsue, Frank W., O’Brien, Charles W.

Pygidium: Exposed, triangular in shape, with moderately long piceous seta-like scales. Genitalia: Not dissected. Differential diagnosis: This species appears very similar to Curculio leptoclavis (Heller), but can be distinguished by the longer antennal club of C. leptoclavis, with antennomere 1 being twice as long as 2, and its smaller size. Specific epithet: The name “ promissus ” is derived from the Latin meaning “ hanging down ” in reference to the long rostrum.	en	Pelsue, Frank W., O’Brien, Charles W.

402C6D40665E7E21AFDDFF3AFBC6B361.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: This genus is characterized by having large head and eyes, rostrum cylindrical, evenly deflexed, with large mandibles, several long seta-like hairs ventrodistad to apex; female rostrum longer than male, with scape inserted at midpoint in male and distad of midpoint in female; rostrum abruptly emerging from head differing from Timola in which it is continuous with head; very tumid metafemur; elytra with long suberect piceous seta-like scales and rather thick decumbent scales; distal margin of metafemoral tooth denticulate with 7 – 8 denticles from apex to base of tooth; tibiae robust, bisinuate, females with large to moderate unci, males lacking unci; tarsal claws bifid; male genitalia very atypical for Curculionini or Curculionidae, with 2 curved distal sclerotic arms that appear to be part of the tegmen. At this time we are placing this genus in the Timolina based on the characters that fit it into Timolina, scutellum not impressed, and pygidium covered, thus being the only Timolina found outside South Africa and probably the only indigenous Curculionini known from South America. A new species of Curculio has recently come to our attention. This species was described as Curculio rishwani Makhan (Makhan, 2009). However, the new species clearly belongs to the genus Megaoculis, but to be able to place it in context with the other two species we would have to obtain a loan of the unique holotype for comparison. The senior author has identified two Curculionini labeled from South America, obviously introduced, those being Curculio villosus Fabricius (NHMB) collected in Sao Paulo, Brazil, introduced from Europe and Curculio proboscideus Fabricius (SMTD) collected in British Guyana (Guyana) probably introduced from North America.	en	Pelsue, Frank W., O’Brien, Charles W.

Rostrum: 3.6 mm in length 0.46 as long as body; derm fuscorufous; glabrous; punctures very small from frons to insertion of scape; ventrally with large seta-like scales before apex; mandibles large; scrobe lateral; scape inserted in basal 1 / 4. Antennae: Scape inserted in basal 1 / 4; scape 0.9 mm; funicle 2.2 mm; club 0.5 mm; scape 0.41 as long as funicle; funicular antennomere 1 longer than 2, 2 and 3 equal in length, 4 and 5 equal but not as long as 3, 6 and 7 same length; antennomere 1 of club not as long as funicular antennomere 7; club as long as funicular antennomeres 6 – 7, clothed with narrow elongate erect white seta-like scales. Thorax: 1.7 mm long; 2.6 mm in width; 0.65 as wide as long; anterior dorsal margin weakly emarginate; broader in middle than base; ventral margin with emarginate apically fringed scales, contiguous to eye; disc flat in lateral view, dorsally rounded in middle, base not sinuate, beset with narrow elongate decumbent to suberect white scales, laterally and ventrally with longer erect piceous scales; mesosternal intercoxal process not prominent; scutellum small, longer than broad, clothed with white scales; mesepimeron, mesepisternum, metepisternum, pro-, meso-, and metasternum clothed with narrow, elongate, decumbent, white scales. Elytra: Striae prominent, not very deep, with large punctures and small narrow white scales; postscutellar area not impressed; humeri rectangular rounded; intervals broad, flat, evenly, but not densely clothed with narrow elongate decumbent white scales, with fewer very long erect piceous seta-like scales; lacking crosshatched setae. Legs: Metafemur reaching apex of elytra; pro-, and mesofemoral teeth very small; clothed with narrow elongate white scales, some testaceous; tibiae bisinuate, expanded laterally; clothed with long, erect, seta-like scales; tarsal claws bifid, inner tooth longer than outer tooth. Abdomen: Sternum II longer than I behind coxal cavity, III + IV longer than II or V; all sterna clothed with narrow, elongate, decumbent, white scales. Pygidium: Large. Genitalia: Median lobe very slender, distally swollen and sclerotised, behind sinuate, laterally strongly narrowed to swollen basal half, with apodemes moderately long, less than one third length of median lobe; distal margin of tegmen with 2 long sinuate sclerotic arms with acute apices, with feather like appendage at apex, arms joined by narrow transverse basal sclerotised bar; with aedeagal apodemes and tegminal apodemes subequal in length; tegminal body narrowly sinuate, broadening to distal third, there surrounding median lobe, with apodemes meeting at apex (Fig. 63); lateral view (Fig. 64). Female: Rostrum: 3.6 mm (n = 2) in length 0.46 as long as body; pro-, and mesotibial uncus long and knife-like; metatibial uncus very short, slightly longer than tarsal claw. Female genitalia: Spermatheca ramus extending above base of collum; collum broadly rounded; corpus broad emerging from collum and remaining broad, cornu with acutely rounded apex; 0.9 mm in length (Fig. 68). Differential diagnosis: This species does not appear much like any other of the Curculionini, even Timola which it joins in the same subtribe. The female of this species has large pro-, and mesounci, a smaller metauncus and white scales on the tibiae. Even though the metafemoral clava is very large, appearing fit for jumping the taxon has wings. The majority of weevils collected by Dr. Eger were taken by him at light (MV and UV) or in UV light traps based on two other collecting experiences together at Rondonia, of the junior author and Dr. Eger. This would imply that the wings are functional. Megaoculis guyanensis is smaller in size with fulvus scales. The male genitalia of both species are very unique for the Curculionidae. Specific epithet: Named in honor of the collector Dr. Joe E. Eger who collected the type series and many other species for the junior author (CWOB). 59 61 Figs. 59 – 60 — Habitus of 3 Megaoculis egeri sp. n. 59) dorsal aspect 60) lateral aspect.

Antennae: Scape 0.8 mm, funicle 1.1 mm in length, scape 0.7 as long as funicle; club 0.4 mm; funicular antennomere 1 slightly longer than 2 (subequal), 2 and 3 same length, 4 and 5 same length, but not as long as 3, 6 shorter than 7, 7 same length as 5; club oval-acuminate, with long seta-like scales, club as long as funicular antennomeres 5 – 7. Thorax: 1.0 mm in length, 1.8 mm in width; 0.55 as long as wide; derm fuscous; side margin linear for 5 / 6 of length, then abruptly narrowed to broad constriction; clothed with decumbent, large, long, narrow, apically acute, fulvus scales; propleuron compressed laterally clothed with similar scales as disc, appearing hairy; mesosternal intercoxal process not prominent; scutellum with circumscutellar and postscutellar areas of elytra not impressed; moderate-sized; longer than broad; densely clothed with long fulvus scales; mesepimeron and mesepisternum sparsely clothed with narrow, elongate, fulvus scales; metepisternal anterior margin broad, narrowing to posterior margin, and clothed with narrow elongate fulvus scales; sterna with similar vestiture. Elytra: Derm fuscous; striae shallow, consisting of deep punctures: each puncture with emerging, narrow, elongate, fulvus scales; humeri with inner margin depressed, prominent, rounded apically; interval 1 fuscopiceous; intervals broad, flat, punctate, with decumbent narrow elongate fulvus scales, with suberect piceous seta-like scales 2 – 3 x length of fulvus scales. Legs: Pro-, and mesofemoral teeth minute; metafemoral tooth large; metafemur not reaching apex of elytra; metafemoral clava very tumid; all femora clothed with narrow, elongate, acute, fulvus scales; tibiae bisinuate, lacking pro-, meso-, and metauncus. Abdomen: Sternum I as long as II behind coxal cavity; II not as long as III; III not as long as IV; sternum V longer than III + IV; sterna clothed with narrow, elongate, fulvus scales. Genitalia: Median lobe moderately slender, distally swollen and sclerotised, behind sinuate, laterally strongly narrowed to swollen basal half, with apodemes long, slightly longer than length of median lobe; tegmen with shorter sclerotic arms lacking notch where the arms attach to the endophallus; aedeagal apodeme longer than arms of tegmen, distal margin of tegmen with 2 long sinuate rather stout sclerotic arms with acute apices, with feather like appendage a apex, arms joined by thick transverse basal sclerotized bar (Fig. 65); lateral view (Fig. 66). Female: 6.3 mm in length; rostrum 3.3 mm in length; scape 1.0 mm in length; antennomeres 1 and 2 subequal. Genitalia: Spermatheca with moderately long ramus; collum broadly enlarged with dorsal pore near ramus; corpus thick leaving cornu broadly tapering to acutely rounded apex 0.3 mm in length (Fig. 67). Differential diagnosis: This species is smaller than the preceding species. Scales are fulvus rather than white as in M. egeri sp. n. Male genitalia are similar to M. egeri, but in M. guyanensis the median lobe is smaller.	en	Pelsue, Frank W., O’Brien, Charles W.
