Abstract
A new species of weevil under the genus Eupyrgops (Berg, 1898) of the family Curculionidae is discovered on the Salacafe Trail going to Lake Holon, Mt. Melibengoy, T’boli, South Cotabato, Philippines. The genus Eupyrgops is poorly known in the Philippines. There are only 11 species recorded. However, these species were only recorded on Luzon Island. Thus, making this new species a new and lone record in Mindanao, would update the list to 12 species. The new species was collected in an opportunistic manner last May 16-18, 2022. The new species Eupyrgops almae sp. nov. has a resemblance with Eupyrgops mitorajii (Alessandro Bramanti, Andrea Bramanti and Rukmane Barbale, 2020) from Luzon. This single (female holotype) specimen was deposited at the zoology section of the CMU – University Museum as a repository of the vertebrate and invertebrate fauna of Mindanao.
