One of a thousand - a new species of Trigonopterus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Cryptorhynchinae) from New Guinea

A new species of Trigonopterus Fauvel, 1862 is described: Trigonopterus vandekampi sp. n.. It occurs relatively commonly on foliage of lowland rainforests in West New Guinea. The genus Trigonopterus is hyperdiverse, but the majority of its species are undescribed. This description is the first one including both important morphological and molecular characters and provides a foundation for forthcoming studies on the functional morphology of this species.
