Trigonopterus dentipes is a species of flightless weevil in the genus Trigonopterus from Indonesia. [1]
The specific name is derived from the Latin words dens , meaning "tooth", and pes , meaning "foot". [1]
Individuals measure 3.04–4.04 mm in length. The elytra in females are slenderer than in males. General coloration is black, with rust-colored antennae and dark-rust color on the legs and the basal third of the elytra. The rust-colored portion of the elytra can range from orange-ish to essentially black. [1]
The species is found around elevations of 830–1,240 metres (2,720–4,070 ft) in Santong, Senaru, and Tetebatu on the island of Lombok, part of the Indonesian province of West Nusa Tenggara. [1]
