Abstract - A new species of the weevil genus Sibinia Germar - S. omanica n. sp. - belonging to the subgenus Dichotychius Bedel, is described from Oman in the Arabian Peninsula. It is closely related to S. exigua Faust, 1885, from which it differs mainly by the vestiture of the elytral interstriae being formed by wide concave and narrow convex scales intermixed, and the shape of the penis ending with a distinct tip.
