摘要

A new genus and four new species of Curculioninae are described from Dominican amber. Neosibinia gen. nov. differs from the extant genera Tychius and Sibinia by the tibiae lacking a mucro and uncus, the elongate pronotum distinctly narrower than the elytral humeri and the sharp bend in the rostrum. Derelomus thalioculus sp. nov. differs from other Derelomus species by the body covering of fine, dense setae. Anthonomus cruraluma sp. nov. is similar to the extant A. filicornis but differs by the tibiae with mucro, elongate body, shorter rostrum, and the smaller body size. Anthonomus browni sp. nov. is distinguished from the extant A. sulcipygus by its narrow elongate body, femora with minute distal tooth and shorter and thicker rostrum. These new taxa further demonstrate the diversity of weevil fauna in Dominican amber.
