Trigonopterus asper is a species of flightless weevil in the genus Trigonopterus from Indonesia. [1]
The specific name is derived from Latin asper, meaning "coarse" or "rough". This refers to the uneven texture of its integument. [1]
Individuals measure 2.48–2.60 mm in length. General coloration is black with rust-colored legs and head. [1]
The species is found around elevations of 1,983–2,185 metres (6,506–7,169 ft) on Mount Bukittinggul in the Indonesian province of West Java. [1]
T. asper is in the T. dimorphus species group, and is closely related to T. variolosus. It can be distinguished from the latter by its larger penis. [1]
