A new species of the genus Ixalma Pascoe, 1871 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from the Philippines

Abstract

A new species, Ixalma mindanaoensis sp. n., of the subtribe Ixalmina (Rhamphini, Curculioninae) is described and illustrated from Mindanao (Suriago del Sur, Surigao del Norte and Lanao del Sur) of the Philippines. The new species is similar to Ixalma javanica Voss, 1934 but differs in a shorter rostrum and non-tuberculated third and fifth elytral interstriae. It is the first record of the genus Ixalma Pascoe, 1871 from the Philippines.
