A new species of Metapocrytus (Curculionidae: Entiminae: Pachyrhynchini) from Southern Mindanao, Philippines

Abstract

Owing to the flightless behaviour of the Pachyrhynchini, new species are still being discovered in unexplored parts of the region. Hence, we described a new species: Metapocyrtus bronsi sp. nov. discovered in Mount Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary, Davao Oriental, Mindanao, Philippines. Habitat, ecology, and threats are also described.
