Neacratus antennatus Mantilleri, Lanuza-Garay, and Bartolozzi, new species, a straight-snout weevil from Central America, is described and illustrated. Although the new taxon shows very peculiar antennal and elytral apices, it is provisionally included in the genus Neacratus Alonso-Zarazaga, Lyal, Bartolozzi, and Sforzi, 1999. The new species is compared with other Neacratus species, particularly to Neacratus glabratus (Lund, 1800), the type species of the genus.
