Popis: Anonyxmolytes lilliput gen. nov., sp. nov. (Curculionidae, Molytinae) is described from Vietnam. Anonyxmolytes lilliput is a blind and wingless weevil, characterized by very small size, presence of a layer of exudate, possibly wax, on the body, thickened on the upper and lower margins of the fore femora and the outer margins of the tibiae, and reduced tarsi, lacking claws. The new genus seems phylogenetically related to Otibazo Morimoto; biogeographical implications are discussed.
