A new species of the broad-nosed weevil of the genus Nothomyllocerus KOJIMA et MORIMOTO, 2006 in the tribe Cyphicerini is described from Bhutan under the name N. ugennamgyeli sp. nov. as the westernmost distribution record of the genus. The weevil is frequently encountered in western and central Bhutan on leaves of various trees, especially on the Himalayan Blue Pine, Pinus wallichiana. This is an aberrant species among congeners in having almost denuded derm and the prominent prosternal process.
