Trigonopterus cuprescens is a species of flightless weevil in the genus Trigonopterus from Indonesia. [1]
The specific name is derived from the Latin word cuprescens , meaning 'coppery'. [1]
Individuals measure 2.72–3.05 mm in length. Females are slightly slenderer than males. The general coloration is black, except for the pronotum and elytra, which are coppery-bronze in color, and the legs and antennae, which are rust-colored. In some individuals, the pronotum and elytra will have a green or red tint. [1]
The species is found around elevations of 525–955 metres (1,722–3,133 ft) in Labuan Bajo on the island of Flores, part of the Indonesian province of East Nusa Tenggara. [1]
