A New Species of the Genus Anthonomus Germar (Curculionidae) in Mexican Amber

A new species, Anthonomus dilatofemurus Poinar et Legalov, sp. nov., from Mexican amber is described and illustrated. The new species is close to A. cruraluma Poinar et Legalov and differs from it in the wider elytra with narrow striae and strongly swollen pro- and metafemora. It differs from A. browni Poinar et Legalov in the wide and short elytra, shorter and thicker weakly curved rostrum, and strongly swollen metafemur. It is distinguished from A. camoiranensis Clark by the metatitibia with uncus and from A. sulcatus Kirsch by the protibia with uncus, metatibia with ventral fringe of medium scales, narrower elongate pronotum, weakly convex elytra and weakly curved rostrum.
