I. The Madeiran clade0 aMitochondrial DNA phylogenetic analysis of the genus Laparocerus  cJuly  a415-4270 v373 aLaparocerus are plant-chewing flightless weevils distributed on oceanic islands in Macaronesia, with a single species in Morocco. The genus has a complicated taxonomic history with several subgenera described. To assist in a taxonomical revision of the group, a molecular study was undertaken. In this first contribution, the species from the Azores and Madeira archipelagos are studied together with representatives of subgenera from the Canary Islands and the single known continental species (46 OTUs). Phylogenetic analyses are based on sequence data from mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase II (COII) and the ribosomal 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) genes (combined data set 1023 bp), with additional data from the nuclear elongation factor 1[alpha] (EF-1[alpha]) for some selected species. Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian analyses show that all Madeiran species are monophyletic and form a monophyletic group with the Afro-Canarian samples. Species of the genus Lichenophagus appear within the Madeiran and Canarian Laparocerus clades, but separated in accordance with their respective island origin. Thus, Lichenophagus is here restricted to Madeiran species and proposed as subgenus (status novo) of Laparocerus. Conversely, the Laparocerus subgenus Drouetius from the Azores is revealed to be a separate and distant outgroup, in agreement with its morphological distinctiveness, deserving an independent genus status. Internal relationships within the Madeiran clade are discussed and compared with morphologically defined species groups. The Madeiran monotypic subgenus Cyphoscelis is not supported by the genetic data and synonymized (nov. syn.) with Laparocerus. Subgenera Laparocerus and Atlantis prove to be polyphyletic. Consequently a restriction to monophyletic and morphologically congruent clades is proposed. A cryptic species vicariant of Laparocerus morio was detected and recognized as L. chaoensis, status novo. Other cases of discrepancy between the genetic results and the traditional taxonomy are discussed in detail in the light of mitochondrial introgression, incomplete lineage sorting or poor taxonomy hypotheses.10aAtlantis10aCyphoscelis10aDrouetius10aLaparocerus10aLaparocerus (Lichenophagus)10aLaparocerus chaoensis10aLaparocerus morio10aLichenophagus1 aMachado, Antonio1 aLopez, Mercedes1 aAlmeida, Teresa1 aHernandez, Mariano  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/mitochondrial-dna-phylogenetic-analysis-genus-laparocerus-coleoptera-curculionidae-entiminae-i-mad-001424nas a2200193   4500008004500000020001400045245011400059210006900173260000900242300001400251490000700265520071900272653001600991653002601007653002301033653002301056100002101079856013001100       2008                        Engldsh    a0022-293300aThree new endogean species of Laparocerus Schonherr, 1834 from the Canary Islands (Coleoptera, Curculionidae)0 aThree new endogean species of Laparocerus Schonherr 1834 from th  c2008  a1277-12880 v423 aThree new species of the weevil genus Laparocerus Schonherr (1834) adapted to the edaphic environment of the Canary Islands are described: L. edaphicus n. sp., L. oromii n. sp. and L. lopezi n. sp.

Both genera have radiated in these archipelagos, and the species are flightless and mostly single-island endemics. The general geological and environmental conditions in both archipelagos are briefly discussed and snapshots of both groups of weevils are provided. Common features are highlighted (wingless, endemicity, etc.) as well as some differences observed (nocturnal versus diurnal activity, feeding amplitude, abundance, size, morphological diversity, etc.). Despite the richer ecological diversity of Macaronesia and the lack of competition in Polynesia, Rhyncogonus and Laparocerus can be considered as ecologically homologous. Both genera have succeeded in colonising their archipelagos, followed by intensive radiation. The concentration of endemics per island is higher in Polynesia congruent with its greater isolation. The highest species density in the Canaries is found in La Gomera, with 0.8 sp/km2, while in Rurutu it is 0.12 sp/km2. The record species density is achieved in Rhyncogonus on Rapa-Iti with 0.27 sp/km2, this figure is further surpassed by the cryptorhynchine genus Miocalles with 1.67 sp/ km2 on that same island. A high number of closely related but well-differentiated species on a small isolated island could be explained as the product of repeated colonising events from a single source lineage (therefore, the monophyly), punctuated in time (punctuated allopatric speciation).10aLaparocerus10aRhyncogonus1 aMachado, Antonio  uhttps://weevil.myspecies.info/rhyncogonus-and-laparocerus-coleoptera-curculionidae-entiminae-parallel-case-success-island-evolut-003090nas a2200277   4500008004500000020001400045245013100059210006900190260000900259300001200268490000700280520214900287653001302436653001602449653001402465653001602479653003202495653002602527653002202553653001802575100002102593700002002614700002002634700002302654856013502677       2008                        Engldsh    a0300-325600aMitochondrial DNA phylogenetic analysis of the genus Laparocerus (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae).
