Coturpus new genus is proposed with one included species, C. arcuatus new species, described from Guerrero, Mexico. Phylogenetic relationships of most curculionid lineages associated with Viscaceae are inadequately resolved. Only for Myrmex arizonicus and Cylindrocopturinus-Coturpus-Turcopus are there sufficient data to weigh competing hypotheses about evolution of host plant associations.}, keywords = {Anthonomus brachyrhinus, Anthonomus guerreroensis, Anthonomus phoradendrae, Cionomimus, Cionomimus burkei, Cionomimus clarki, Cionomimus grossus, Cionomimus obrieni, Cionomimus woodi, Coturpus, Coturpus arcuatus, Curculionidae, Cylindrocopturinus, Cylindrocopturinus catherineae, Cylindrocopturinus hainesi, Cylindrocopturinus pictus, Cylindrocopturinus vanessae, Hohonus sturio, Myrmex algerti, Myrmex arizonicus, Sternocoelus sturio, Turcopus, Turcopus viscivorus}, isbn = {0022-2933}, author = {Anderson, R.
