A new species of the genusNephius Pascoe, 1885 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from Philippines

A new species, Nephius mindanaoensis Legalov, sp. nov. from Mindanao (Philippines) is described and illustrated. This new species is similar to N. verrucifer (Voss, 1940) from Java but differs in the rostrum longer than head and pronotum combined, the base of the pronotum is much narrower than the base of the elytra, and pronotum without middle carina. This is the first record of the genus Nephius for Philippines. Distribution map for species of the genus Nephius is given also.
