Three new weevil species, Stenommatus copalicus sp. nov.

Keys to recent and fossil species of New World Stenommatus, recent and fossil species of Conotrachelus with broken carinae of the 2nd and 5th elytral intervals and a body size greater than 7.0 mm, and recent and fossil species of New World Cydianerus, are provided. These are the first records of Curculionidae from Colombian copal and the first records of the genera Stenommatus and Cydianerus in Colombia.
