New data on the systematics and morphology of the weevil genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae) with description of a new subspecies of the subgenus Pocodalemes Reitter, 1912

Abstract

A new data about type specimens of Otiorhynchus discretus Stierlin, 1861, O. pubifer Boheman, 1842, O. ottomanus Stierlin, 1861, O. lilligi Keskin et Cevik, 2007, O. longipilis Smreczyński, 1970, O. europaeus Stierlin, 1883, O. ceviki Keskin, 2007, O. georgianus Magnano, 1999 and O. suramensis Reitter, 1914 are presented. A taxonomic position of the following species of the genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 is clarifed: O. pawlowskii Mazur, 1983 is transferred from incerta sedis to the subgenus Davidianaxius Alonso-Zarazaga, 2013; O. suramensis from Podoropelmus Reitter, 1912 to Davidianaxius; both of O. ceviki and O. spinifer K. Daniel et J. Daniel, 1902 are transferred from Melasemnus Reitter, 1912 to Tournieria Stierlin, 1861; O. ottomanus from Panorosemus Reitter, 1912 and O. longipilis from Hanibotus Reitter, 1912 are transferred to the subgenus Pocodalemes Reitter, 1912; O. discretus and O. pseudomecops Reitter, 1914 from Podonebistus Reitter, 1912 to Pterygodontus Białooki, 2015; O. pilosus Gyllenhal, 1834 from Сhoilisanus Reitter, 1912 to Podorhynchus Białooki, 2015. Species O. pubifer sp. resurr. is resurrected from the synonymy of O. brunneus Gyllenhal, 1834. Te new synonymy is established: Otiorhynchus pilosus Gyllenhal, 1834 = Otiorhynchus georgianus Magnano, 1999, syn. n. Lectotypes for O. discretus and O. ottomanus are designated. Otiorhynchus (Pocodalemes) vitis giresunicus subsp. n. is described from Göndeliç Tepesi in Giresun Province of Turkey. Tis new subspecies is diferent from the nominotypical one in the weakly punctured elongated medial area on the pronotal disc.
