title: Ninety-eight new species of Trigonopterus weevils from Sundaland and the Lesser Sunda Islands.
abstract: The genus Trigonopterus Fauvel, 1862 is highly diverse in Melanesia. Only one species, Trigonopterusamphoralis Marshall, 1925 was so far recorded West of Wallace's Line (Eastern Sumatra). Based on focused field-work the fauna from Sundaland (Sumatra, Java, Bali, Palawan) and the Lesser Sunda Islands (Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores) is here revised. We redescribe Trigonopterusamphoralis Marshall and describe an additional 98 new species: Trigonopterusacuminatus sp. n., Trigonopterusaeneomicans sp. n., Trigonopterusalaspurwensis sp. n., Trigonopterusallopatricus sp. n., Trigonopterusallotopus sp. n., Trigonopterusangulicollis sp. n., Trigonopterusargopurensis sp. n., Trigonopterusarjunensis sp. n., Trigonopterusasper sp. n., Trigonopterusattenboroughi sp. n., Trigonopterusbaliensis sp. n., Trigonopterusbatukarensis sp. n., Trigonopterusbawangensis sp. n., Trigonopterusbinodulus sp. n., Trigonopterusbornensis sp. n., Trigonopteruscahyoi sp. n., Trigonopteruscostipennis sp. n., Trigonopteruscuprescens sp. n., Trigonopteruscupreus sp. n., Trigonopterusdacrycarpi sp. n., Trigonopterusdelapan sp. n., Trigonopterusdentipes sp. n., Trigonopterusdiengensis sp. n., Trigonopterusdimorphus sp. n., Trigonopterusdisruptus sp. n., Trigonopterusdua sp. n., Trigonopterusduabelas sp. n., Trigonopterusechinatus sp. n., Trigonopterusempat sp. n., Trigonopterusenam sp. n., Trigonopterusfissitarsis sp. n., Trigonopterusflorensis sp. n., Trigonopterusfoveatus sp. n., Trigonopterusfulgidus sp. n., Trigonopterusgedensis sp. n., Trigonopterushalimunensis sp. n., Trigonopterushonjensis sp. n., Trigonopterusijensis sp. n., Trigonopterusjavensis sp. n., Trigonopteruskalimantanensis sp. n., Trigonopteruskintamanensis sp. n., Trigonopterusklatakanensis sp. n., Trigonopteruslampungensis sp. n., Trigonopteruslatipes sp. n., Trigonopteruslima sp. n., Trigonopteruslombokensis sp. n., Trigonopterusmerubetirensis sp. n., Trigonopterusmesehensis sp. n., Trigonopterusmicans sp. n., Trigonopterusmisellus sp. n., Trigonopteruspalawanensis sp. n., Trigonopteruspangandaranensis sp. n., Trigonopterusparaflorensis sp. n., Trigonopteruspararugosus sp. n., Trigonopterusparasumbawensis sp. n., Trigonopteruspauxillus sp. n., Trigonopteruspayungensis sp. n., Trigonopterusporcatus sp. n., Trigonopteruspseudoflorensis sp. n., Trigonopteruspseudosumbawensis sp. n., Trigonopteruspunctatoseriatus sp. n., Trigonopterusranakensis sp. n., Trigonopterusrelictus sp. n., Trigonopterusrinjaniensis sp. n., Trigonopterusroensis sp. n., Trigonopterusrugosostriatus sp. n., Trigonopterusrugosus sp. n., Trigonopterusrutengensis sp. n., Trigonopterussaltator sp. n., Trigonopterussantubongensis sp. n., Trigonopterussasak sp. n., Trigonopterussatu sp. n., Trigonopterusschulzi sp. n., Trigonopterussebelas sp. n., Trigonopterussembilan sp. n., Trigonopterussepuluh sp. n., Trigonopterusseriatus sp. n., Trigonopterusserratifemur sp. n., Trigonopterussetifer sp. n., Trigonopterussilvestris sp. n., Trigonopterussingkawangensis sp. n., Trigonopterussingularis sp. n., Trigonopterussinuatus sp. n., Trigonopterussqualidus sp. n., Trigonopterussumatrensis sp. n., Trigonopterussumbawensis sp. n., Trigonopterussundaicus sp. n., Trigonopterussuturalis sp. n., Trigonopterussyarbis sp. n., Trigonopterustelagensis sp. n., Trigonopterustepalensis sp. n., Trigonopterustiga sp. n., Trigonopterustrigonopterus sp. n., Trigonopterustujuh sp. n., Trigonopterusujungkulonensis sp. n., Trigonopterusvariolosus sp. n., Trigonopterusvulcanicus sp. n., Trigonopteruswallacei sp. n.. All new species are authored by the taxonomist-in-charge, Alexander Riedel. Most species belong to the litter fauna of primary wet evergreen forests. This habitat has become highly fragmented in the study area and many of its remnants harbor endemic species. Conservation measures should be intensified, especially in smaller and less famous sites to minimize the number of species threatened by extinction.
