Diagnostic description
Holotype, male (Fig. 72a). Length 2.88 mm. Color ferruginous, pronotum and center of elytron black. Body subovate; in dorsal aspect with marked constriction between pronotum and elytron; in profile dorsally convex. Rostrum in apical half scabrous, coarsely punctate; in basal half with median and pair of submedian ridges; intervening furrows punctate; with sparse subrecumbent, piliform scales; epistome with transverse, angulate ridge forming indistinct median denticle. Pronotum with sides converging in straight line, anterolaterally rounded to subapical constriction; disk with pair of submedian depressions, coarsely punctate, reticulate; each puncture containing inconspicuous seta; with distinct median ridge. Elytra with striae indistinct; intervals flat, punctate; at base, laterally and subapically ferruginous, densely coarsely punctate, with scattered recumbent lanceolate scales; remainder less densely punctate, punctures in rows, black. Anteroventral ridge of femora distinct, in meso- and metafemur forming large tooth. Metafemur subapically with stridulatory patch. Dorsal edge of tibiae subbasally with angulation, in pro- and mesotibia with small tooth. Abdominal ventrite 5 flat, coarsely punctate. Penis (Fig. 72b) with sides of body subparallel; in apical 1/3 tapering to rounded apex; transfer apparatus compact; apodemes 2.3 × as long as body; ductus ejaculatorius with indistinct bulbus. Intraspecific variation. Length 2.38–2.98 mm. Color of specimens from Sesaot as in holotype; from other localities darker, body black, legs dark ferruginous, only antennae light ferruginous. Female body more slender. Female rostrum dorsally punctate-rugose, with median and pair of submedian subglabrous costae; epistome simple. Elytra with scales near base more or less distinct.

Distribution
West Nusa Tenggara Prov., Lombok (Mt. Pusuk, Sajang, Sembalun, Sesaot). Elevation: 615–945 m.
Etymology
This epithet is based on the Sasak tribe traditionally inhabiting the island of Lombok. It is a noun in apposition.
Notes
Trigonopterus sasak Riedel, sp. n. was coded as “Trigonopterus sp. 330” by Tänzler et al. (2014)[1]. Cox1 sequences of the populations from West and East Lombok differ 9.7–10.6% p-distance, but morphologically no differences could be found.
