Eupholus geoffroyi Guérin-Méneville, 1830, in Cyclop Mountains

Notes to this checklist

The following list is largely based on the “checklist of weevils from the Papuan region” (Setliff, 2007). Many thanks to Greg Setliff for his permission use it in this context!
Many localities were cross-checked with the original literature to verify if the species were described from Indonesian Papua or from some other region (e.g. from Maluku, PNG or the Solomon islands). In those cases where only “New Guinea” is known as a locality, the species were included in the present list. However, with additional research it may turn out that some of these species are in fact endemic to the areas outside the scope of this checklist and consequently they will have to be deleted. There will also be cases where species described from outside areas will be recorded for Indonesian Papua and these will have to be added. And finally, there is a large number of species that wait for discovery or formal description, which is probably the majority of Papuan weevils.
Thus, the following list can only provide a rough idea of the Papuan weevil fauna. It reflects today’s published information. The distribution records “[endemic]” need to be taken with a grain of salt as too little is known of the actual distribution. However, it is safe to claim that the majority of weevils are endemic to more or less limited areas of New Guinea. The picture of the Papuan weevil fauna will become clearer if thorough revisions of many more groups are published. Isolated descriptions of new taxa that ignore the historic material will only increase confusion.

Listed Papua species: 449 [238 species endemic for Papua]

The Curculionidae are in Papua represented by the next subfamilies: Baridinae, Ceuthorhynchinae, Conoderinae, Cossoninae, Cryptorhynchinae, Curculioninae, Cyclominae, Entiminae, Lixinae, Mesoptiliinae
