Notes
Trigonopterus johorensis sp. nov. is coded as “Trigonopterus sp. 1112”. This species belongs to the Trigonopterus attenboroughi group. It is closely related to Trigonopterus attenboroughi Riedel, 2014, Trigonopterus mulensis sp. nov., and Trigonopterus sarawakensis sp. nov., from which it can be distinguished by the subtruncate elytral apex and 13.7–15.3% p-distance of its cox1 sequence.
