TL;DR: The morphological and molecular characters to differentiate E. marielaurae sp.
Abstract: Eupholus Boisduval is outstanding among weevils for its large body size and splendid coloration. Nevertheless, some species have eluded discovery until recently. Here we describe E. marielaurae sp. n. from the Arfak Mountains of West New Guinea. We provide morphological and molecular characters to differentiate it from E. cuvierii (Guerin-Meneville).

TL;DR: Two new species of Eupholus Boisduval from West New Guinea are described as new and attention is drawn to important characters of the male and the female genitalia which had hitherto been ignored in the taxonomy of this genus.
Abstract: Two new species of Eupholus Boisduval from West New Guinea are described as new: Eupholus schneideri sp. n. and Eupholus vlasimskii sp. n.. Attention is drawn to important characters of the male and the female genitalia which had hitherto been ignored in the taxonomy of this genus. Preliminary comments are made on the nomenclature of Eupholus. Species described in the genus Eupholus Guerin-Meneville, 1838 need to be transferred to Eupholus Boisduval, 1835. New combinations are: E. chevrolatii (Guerin-Meneville, 1838), E. cuvierii (Guerin-Meneville, 1838), E. dhuyi (Porion, 1993), E. euphrosyne (Porion, 1993), E. geoffroyi (Guerin-Meneville, 1838), E. kotaseaoi (Porion, 2000), E. nagaii (Porion, 1993), E. schoenherrii (Guerin-Meneville, 1838).

TL;DR: Two new species of Eupholus Boisduval from Papua New Guinea are described as new and its yellow colour pattern is composed of scales whereas in the latter it is formed by loose particles.
Abstract: Two new species of Eupholus Boisduval from Papua New Guinea are described as new: Eupholus mimicus sp. n. and E. sedlaceki sp. n.. A key to the Eupholus species with yellow colour patterns is provided. E. sedlaceki is closely related to E. euphrosyne Porion but differs in coloration. Male and female terminalia of E. euphrosyne are illustrated for comparison. E. mimicus is superficially very similar to E. euphrosyne, but its yellow colour pattern is composed of scales whereas in the latter it is formed by loose particles. These two species belong to different species groups, and the conspicuous colour patterns have evidently evolved convergently. The occurrence and function of extracuticular pigments among species of Eupholini is discussed.
