N2  - The Mascarene genus Syzygops Sch&ouml;nherr (Curculionidae : Entiminae) is revised and a key to the species is provided. Of the 17 species, seven are described as new: S. insignis, sp. nov., S. similis, sp. nov., S. petilus, sp. nov., S. globosus, sp. nov. and S. robustus, sp. nov. from Mauritius, and S. acuminatus, sp. nov. and S. ornatus, sp. nov. from R&#233;union. Four species previously described, S. prasinus Gu&#233;rin-M&#233;neville,S. cinereus Gu&#233;rin-M&#233;neville, S. fuscipes Gu&#233;rin-M&#233;neville and S. hystrix Rosenschoeld, are considered to be species inquirendae. S. antelmei Hustache is synonymized withS. desjardinsiiGu&#233;rin-M&#233;neville andS. laterivirens Fairmaire with S. cyclops Sch&ouml;nherr. Lectotypes are designated for S. alluaudi Hustache, S. vinsoni Hustache, S. laterivirens Fairmaire, S. coquerelii Fairmaire, S. tuberculatus Gu&#233;rin-M&#233;neville, S. obscurus Hustache and S. aureoviridis Hustache. Eleven of the 17 species considered valid are endemic to Mauritius and six to R&#233;union. Several of the species display extreme sexual dimorphism. The adults of all species are believed to occur exclusively on ferns. The immature stages are unknown.
