A new genus of the tribe Rhamphini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from the Philippines

Abstract

A new genus, Philippinoramhus Legalov, gen. nov. with type species Ph. antonkozlovi Legalov, sp. nov. from the subtribe Rhamphina (Rhamphini) from the Philippines (Luzon and Mindanao islands) is described. The new genus is similar to the genus Indodinorrhopalus Pajni et Sood, 1981 but differs in the very long rostrum (especially in females), weakly sulcated femora and eyes continues dorsally. It is the first record of the tribe Rhamphini for the Philippines.
