	abstract = {Scelianoma elydimorpha Franz \& Gir{\'o}n, new genus and new species, an entimine weevil endemic to southwestern Puerto Rico, is described and illustrated in detail, and assigned to the tribe Eustylini (Curculionidae: Entiminae). Scelianoma is distinguished from related taxa by the following diagnostic features: shape narrowly elongate, length/width ratio 2.8-3.5; integument with densely arranged scales; pronotum without conspicuous sculpturing; male metatibia with row of 5-7 teeth, each tooth with a spine-like seta; female metatibia lacking teeth, yet with row of long, narrowly depressed setae; metatibial corbel linear; elytral humeri absent, elytra in lateral view with dorsal outline subplane, lacking cuticular projections, posterior declivity strongly angulate, slightly convex (male) to rectate (female); and wings absent. The elytra of S. elydimorpha are sexually dimorphic, attenuating in males along the posterior 5/6 yet mostly subparallel in females, and the females furthermore have two rows of erect setae along each mesal side of the declivity. Scelianoma elydimorpha is common on the southern limestone slopes of the well-preserved Gu{\'a}nica dry forest. The immature stages and host plants are unknown.},

Sixteen new records and 5-9 new species are reported, yielding a total of 28 species of Curculionoidea for the island. The distribution and natural history of each species are briefly reviewed. As many as nine species are endemics, whereas 15 species are shared with Puerto Rico which was the primary source region for Pliocene-Pleistocene colonization events. Mona Island{\textquoteright}s weevil fauna is depauperate and dominated by members of the Cossoninae, Anthonomini, Tychiini, Entiminae, and Scolytinae. The apparent underrepresentation of common Caribbean weevil lineages such as the Cryptorhynchinae suggests that subaerial land bridges during the Oligocene-Miocene period were important in facilitating their colonization of the main island of Puerto Rico.},
