Etymology. This species is named after the plant genus Canarium on which weevils were collected.
Biology. Weevils were collected from Canarium euphyllum Kurz. ( Burseraceae ) on Andaman Island. Weevils were also captured on a flowering tree probably belonging to Neolamarckia sp. ( Rubiaceae ) in Thailand by using an insect net with a long handle, which is about 6 m in length.
Distribution. Andaman Island ( India), Thailand.
Comment. This new species is easily separable from the type species by the coloration.
