Abstract
A new weevil, Periosomerus tanyorhynchus gen. et sp. nov., from mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber is described in the tribe Abrocarini. The new genus differs from the related extant genus, Abrocar, in the widened femora, strong bilobed tarsomere 3 and longer antennomere 1. This is first record of the tribe Abrocarini in Burmese amber.
