ABSTRACT. A new species, Physarchus kalimantanensis Legalov, sp.n. from Sabah (Malaysia), is described and illustrated. This new species differs from Physarchus octotuberculatus (Voss, 1958) in that it has a small body size, an absence of tubercles on the second and fourth elytral interstriae, a long rostrum and a wide pronotum. This is the first record of the genus Physarchus Pascoe, 1865 in the Sunda Islands, Ph. octotuberculatus in Vietnam, and of Ph. castaneipennis Faust, 1891 in Nepal.
KEY WORDS: Curculionoidea, Molytinae, Metatygini, new species, Kalimantan.
