Abstract - A new Torneuma Wollaston, 1860 from Sicily (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Cryptorhynchinae) - A new Sicilian weevil is here described and illustrated: Torneuma angelae n. sp., collected on Mount Pellegrino (Palermo) syntopic with Torneuma deplanatum deplanatum (Hampe, 1864). The new species, very small, is easily distinguished from the other known congeneric taxa by the external characteristics, and mainly by the singular structure of the basal armor of the internal sac of the aedeagus, with four pigmented sclerites laterally: two anterior subspherical and two posterior reniform.
