Title from caption.

"September 21, 1971."

"The present paper is the third and final part of a series on the Sipalini, a tribe of weevils ranging widely in Eurasia, Australasia, Africa, and the New World (South America north to the southwestern United States)."

"In the present revision of the genus Sipalinus of the Old World, five species from Africa and two from Eurasia and Australasia are recognized as valid. Included is a new species, yunnanensis, from Likiang, Yunnan, China. The widespread Asian species, gigas, is considered to be polytypic, one species being chiefly continental and northern, the other insular and generally more southern. Two names listed in catalogues are removed from the genus, elephas Fabricius, 1781 and porosus Walker, 1859. Geographic ranges, ecology, and synonyms are discussed; drawings, maps, and photographs are presented; parts of the male and female genitalia are shown for the first time"--P. 40.
