Limnobaris kumei (Yoshihara & Morimoto, 1997) View in CoL comb. n.

Calyptopygus kumei Yoshihara & Morimoto, 1997: 1. Holotype male, Mt. Takôyama, Yomitan-son, Okinawa Island, Japan (ELKU).

Diagnosis.

Limnobaris kumei is the only known species that has neither dense lateroventral vestiture nor a male protibial projection. Moreover, the rostrum is longer and sexually more dimorphic than in other congeners. Females have the antenna inserted in the basal half of the rostrum, a condition otherwise noticed only in Limnobaris albosparsa and Limnobaris tibialis .

Distribution.

The species is known from the Ryūkyū Islands (Okinawa) and Taiwan (Fig. 13).

Biology.

Adult weevils were collected from unidentified Cyperaceae ( Yoshihara and Morimoto 1997).
