—6— ASAC New Zealand's coxella, karo, knobbled, and speargrass weevils are revised. Sixteen species are recognised in the genus Lyperobius Pascoe, 1876, of which eight are new (australis, barbarae, clarkei, eylesi, glacialis, montanus, patricki, and townsendi). Four species are recognised in the genus Hadramphus Broun, 1911. Karocolens Kuschel, 1987, based on K. pittospori Kuschel, 1987, is reduced to synonymy with Hadramphus, and the new combination H. pittospori is proposed. Lyperobius aciphyllae Broun, 1917 is a subjective synonym of L. cupiendus Broun, 1886. Genera and species are described, and a key to adults is given. Life history, biology, and conservation status and value are reviewed. A numerical phylogenetic analysis exploring the relationships of the two genera and their included species is shown to contain significant phylogenetic structure, against a null hypothesis of random noise, by bootstrapping and tree-length distribution skewness. Biogeographical and ecological history, including host plant shifts, are discussed.

Ει rnt COSEAIO SAUS A AUE Large weevil species are generally considered in New ll Zealand conservation biology (e.g., Ramsay et al. 1988, Thomas 1996) to be at threat from introduced rodent ■ fllx predators. There is some anecdotal and empirical evidence

• hdn pp supporting this supposition. Bull (1967) provided evi- dence that mice prey upon L. huttoni adults, and Kuschel • pdnhl pp (1971) attributed the absence of H. stilbocarpae on Big South Cape Island - where it was once present - to pred- hbtt xl ation by rats. While rodents undoubtedly prey on these tp nrdrd weevils, other factors such as habitat degradation and ndt nnpf destruction due to agricultural practices, reduction in the nlr size and extent of host plant populations through browsing l trl ί llnd by stock and wild goats (Meads 1990), and even removal blpn 1 l of the entire habitat through quarrying (which happened to •" = nrtn a viable population of L. huttoni at Owhiro Bay, south

Application of the taxonomic root weighting method (Williams et al. 1991) to the phylogenetic tree provides a means of assigning quantitative values for each ESCIIOS species or species-group in that tree (Table 3).
