title: Data from: Descriptions of four new species of Minyomerus Horn, 1876 sec. Jansen & Franz, 2018 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), with notes on their distribution and phylogeny

description: This contribution adopts the taxonomic concept approach, including the use
 of taxonomic concept labels (name sec. [according to] source) and region
 connection calculus-5 (RCC–5) articulations and alignments. Prior to this
 study, the broad-nosed weevil genus Minyomerus Horn, 1876 sec. Jansen
 & Franz, 2015 (Curculionidae [non-focal]: Entiminae [non-focal]:
 Tanymecini [non-focal]) contained 17 species distributed throughout the
 desert and plains regions of North America. In this review of Minyomerus
 sec. Jansen & Franz, 2018, we describe the following four species
 as new to science: Minyomerus ampullaceus sec. Jansen & Franz,
 2018 (henceforth: [JF2018]), new species, Minyomerus franko [JF2018], new
 species, Minyomerus sculptilis [JF2018], new species, and Minyomerus
 tylotos [JF2018], new species. The four new species are added to, and
 integrated with, the preceding revision, and an updated key and phylogeny
 of Minyomerus [JF2018] are presented. A cladistic analysis using 52
 morphological characters of 26 terminal taxa (5/21 outgroup/ingroup)
 yielded a single most-parsimonious cladogram (Length = 99 steps,
 consistency index = 60, retention index = 80). The analysis reaffirms the
 monophyly of Minyomerus [JF2018] with eight unreversed synapomorphies. The
 species-group placements, possible biogeographic origins, and natural
 history of the new species are discussed in detail.
