Howdeniola margheritae n.sp. and Howdeniola onorei n.sp. (Curculionidae Cossoninae) from Ecuador, specimens collected by sieving forest humus in the "bosque nublado" of Otonga (Cotopaxi-Las Pampas) and in the subparamo of Cerro Blanco (Pichincha-S. Jose de Minas), respectively, are described, illustrated and discussed. Some preliminary considerations on the ecological and zoogeographical attributes of blind Curculionid Coleoptera of the Americas are presented.
