Trigonopterus ovatus Riedel sp. n. Diagnostic description. Holotype, male (Fig. 57a). Length 3.56 mm. Color black; antennal scape and funicle ferruginous. Body ovate; with weak constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile evenly convex. Rostrum dorsally densely punctate, without ridges or furrows. Pronotum densely punctate; dorsally punctures minute, laterally larger, anterolaterally with scattered white scales. Elytra punctate with minute punctures, especially on intervals; strial punctures slightly larger; striae impressed as fine lines; lateral stria behind humeri simple, not deepened. Femora edentate. Mesofemur and metafemur dorsally densely squamose with white scales. Metafemur with smooth dorsoposterior edge; subapically without stridulatory patch. Metatibia apically with uncus, without premucro. Aedeagus (Fig. 57b) symmetrical; apex subangulate, subglabrous; transfer-apparatus simple; ductus ejaculatorius without bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.97-3.94 mm. Female rostrum in apical half slightly narrower than in male, dorsally with punctures slightly sparser and smaller. Material examined.
