Abstract

Two new Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912, subgenus Orthocyrtus Heller, 1912 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae: Pachyrhynchini) are described and illustrated from Mindanao Island, Philippines. The species are Metapocyrtus (Orthocyrtus) davaoensis sp.n. and Metapocyrtus (Orthocyrtus) hirakui sp.n. from Davao City and Bukidnon respectively. Brief bionomical notes and phenotypic characters compared to their sympatric Entiminae counterparts are also reported. The discovery of M. (O.) davaoensis sp.n. in Davao City confirms how understudied coleoptera are in Mindanao, and underlines the potential for the discovery of new species even in highly urbanized areas.
