Distribution . Simbu Prov. (Haia). Elevation: 1005-1220 m. Biology. Mostly collected by beating foliage in montane forest. Etymology. This epithet is based on a combination of the Latin nouns squama (scale) and rostrum (snout) and refers to the clothed rostrum of the males. Notes. Trigonopterus squamirostris Riedel, sp. n. was coded as " Trigonopterus sp. 225" by Taenzler et al. (2012) .
