New species and host plants of the Anthonomus grandis species group (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
Three new species of the Anthonomus grandis group are described and illustrated, and a key distinguishing the five species of the group is presented. Anthonomus townsendi, n. sp., and A. palmeri, n. sp., occur in the State of Chiapas, Mexico, and A. mallyi, n. sp., occurs in Costa Rica. Host plants of these species are members of the genus Hampea (Malvales: Malvaceae). The taxonomic and ecological interrelationships of the weevil taxa and their malvaceous hosts are discussed.
