A new species, Otiorhynchus (Mongolorrhynchus) altaipilosus Legalov, sp. nov. from South-eastern Russian Altai of Western Siberia is described and illustrated. This species is similar to O. populiger Arnoldi, 1975 from Bayankhongor Province but differs from it in small teeth on the femora, the length of the rostrum is subequal to its width at the base, wider elytra, and the rugose-punctate pronotum. A distribution map for O. altaipilosus Legalov, sp. nov. and O. populiger is given.

Provisional key to species of Otiorhynchus subgenus Anchorrhynchus Most of the females of O. sabbadinii Pesarini, 1985; O. schlaeflini Stierlin, 1861, and O. solariorum Lona, 1922 are almost impossible to determine on the basis of external morphological characters without knowledge of the exact locality.

The specimens examined are morphologically variable. The sulcus of the epifrons is slightly variable; some specimens have a shallow sulcus. Antennal segment 4 is occasionally slightly longer than quoted above. The majority of specimens have teardropshaped to lanceolate pinkish-greenish scales with a metallic shine, but sometimes the body is almost devoid of scales. Hind tibiae of some males are strikingly stout and have a longitudinal groove on the inner side. The body colour is often brown to dark-brown, possibly for specimens which are freshly emerged. Remarks and comparative notes. Otiorhynchus pseudoschlaeflini is a long-known species that was mistakenly identified as O. schlaeflini (Figs 2 a–b) based on Reitter (1914). All specimens treated above originate from Peloponnesos, whereas Stierlin (1861) described O. schlaeflini from Janina (at present Ioannina) in Epirus. Thus, the identification key provided by Reitter (1914) does not allow for recognizing the true O. schlaeflini. This problem has already been indicated by Lona (1922, 1937), who in these overlooked papers mentioned the differences in the key and descriptions provided by Stierlin and Reitter while comparing Peloponnesian examples to typical specimens of the Stierlin collection. From similar species within Anchorrhynchus (Otiorhynchus beieri Penecke, 1935, O. parnassius Apfelbeck, 1922, O. subfilum Reitter, 1884), O. pseudoschlaeflini differs from O. beieri in larger, stronger convex granules, and stronger wrinkles, longitudinally more convex elytra, whereas the above mentioned species have elytra less elongate, almost smooth, longitudinally flat and scarcely wrinkled. Otiorhynchus pseudoschlaeflini is easily distinguishable from O. subfilum based on external morphology since this new species has elytral striae less developed so as to be hardly visible, punctures shallow, wrinkled spaces between them longer than the diameter of the punctures and with larger moderately convex granules, interstriae slightly wider than striae, convex and wrinkled, whereas O. subfilum has punctures in the elytral striae that are subquadratic, interspaces shorter than diameter of the punctures, with small flat hardly visible granules, scarcely wrinkled interstriae with larger granules. In addition, O. pseudoschlaeflini differs from O. subfilum in the oblong-oval body shape and in the shape of the penis which is longer, tapering and narrowly truncate, whereas in O. subfilum the body shape is more elongate and the penis is widely truncate. Otiorhynchus parnassius differs from O. pseudoschlaeflini by the elytra with irregular strial punctures, surface strongly wrinkled with well-developed granules and raised setae, whereas in O. pseudoschlaeflini the elytra show shallow barely developed punctures, surface with weakly developed wrinkles, moderately convex larger granules and recumbent elytral setae. Moreover, elytra of O. pseudoschlaeflini are longitudinally somewhat convex in contrast with the flat elytra of O. parnassius. Distribution. Peloponnesos, Greece. Etymology. The species takes its name from its close similarity to O. schlaeflini such that it has been erroneously confused with that species for a long time., Published as part of Szénási, Valentin, 2022, Two new species of Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 of the subgenus Anchorrhynchus Reitter, 1914 from the Balkan Peninsula, with a key to species (Coleoptera Curculionidae: Entiminae), pp. 353-364 in Zootaxa 5209 (3) on pages 354-358, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5209.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/7329726, {"references":["Reitter, E.

Spiculum gastrale almost straight (Fig. 4 n). Penis relatively slender (Figs 4 j–k), median lobe subparallel-sided, slightly tapering along apical third (Fig. 4 l), about as long as apodemes. In lateral view (Fig. 4 k) widened to basal half. Internal sack with basal sclerite. Tegminal-ring (Fig. 4 p) oval, with fairly short parameres, manubrium slightly curved, laterally scarcely flattened, about as long as apodeme of median lobe. Female (Figs 1 g –h). Very similar to male, the body scarcely larger, legs and protarsomeres 1-3 slightly narrower. Female genitalia (Figs 5 b, d). 8 th sternite narrow, apodeme slender, apical margin excised out triangularly, sclerotised, with several long sensillae at apex (Fig. 5 b). Spermatheca fairly stout, with short, C-shaped cornu apically pointed, ramus small, collum short (Fig. 5 d). Ovipositor with long styli and long sensillae. Variability. Male: BL: 5.1–6.2 (average 5.5), BW: 1.9–2.2 (average 2.0), BH: 1.5–1.7 (average 1.6). Female: BL: 4.8–5.7 (average 5.2), BW: 1.8–2.2 (average 2.0), BH: 1.4–1.6 (average 1.5). The specimens examined are morphologically quite uniform although their colour is quite variable, often with the whole body brown, probably due to specimens being freshly emerged. Only occasionally are specimens are entirely black. Occasionally, the interspaces of punctures on the pronotal disc appear as irregular fairly large and fairly convex umbilicate granules. Remarks and comparative notes. Otiorhynchus roznerantii clearly differs from other species of Anchorrhynchus with an impunctate pronotum. A few specimens of O. roznerantii which display an irregularly granulate pronotal disc differ from similar species (Otiorhynchus endroedii, O. maderi maderi, O. maderi dajtitensis, O. muellerorum) in the structure of antennae: funicle segments 4-7 which in O. roznerantii are transverse whereas in O. endroedii segments 3-4 are elongate, 5 isodiametric, 6-7 elongate; in O. maderi maderi segment 3 is elongate, 4 isodiametric, 5 transverse, and 6-7 isodiametric; in O. muellerorum funicle segments 3-7 are elongate. Otiorhynchus maderi dajtitensis differs in a glabrous, or almost glabrous body. Distribution. Greece, North-Macedonia. Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym in honor of Rozner Antal (Anti to his friends) of Budapest, Hungary, who supported the Macedonian collecting trips., Published as part of Szénási, Valentin, 2022, Two new species of Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 of the subgenus Anchorrhynchus Reitter, 1914 from the Balkan Peninsula, with a key to species (Coleoptera Curculionidae: Entiminae), pp. 353-364 in Zootaxa 5209 (3) on pages 358-362, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5209.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/7329726

A new species, Otiorhynchus (Mongolorrhynchus) ivanovi Legalov, sp. nov. from Central Russian Altai of Western Siberia is described and illustrated. This species is similar to O. rectipilosus from Altai but differs from it in the profemora with obtuse tooth, curved pronotal sides and weakly rugose pronotum. A map and a key for identifying species from the subgenus Mongolorrhynchus are given.

Russian Altai of Western Siberia is described and illustrated. This species is similar to O. janovskii Korotyaev, 1990 but differs from it in the long decumbent setae on the elytra, larger teeth on the femora, wider rostrum and weakly narrowed apex of the aedeagus. Otiorhynchus altaicus Stierlin, 1861, syn. nov. is synonymous to Otiorhynchus (Podonebistus) bardus Boheman, 1842. A key for identifying species from the subgenus Podonebistus from Altai and adjacent territories is given.

A new species, Otiorhynchus (Stupamacus) yakovlevi Legalov, sp. nov. from Western Siberia is described and illustrated. This new species is most similar to O. scintillus but differs from it in a slender body, sparsely punctation of pronotum, less rounded, and finer punctate elytral interstriae. A map with localities of newly described species is added. A key for identifying species from the subgenus Stupamacus from Altai is also included.

Species composition, the ecological structure and the occurrence characteristics of weevils (Curculionoidea) in the stratobios of the main urban habitats of Kharkiv were studied. 59 species from 41 genera and three families were registered. Curculionoidea comprises 31.5% of the coleopterofauna of stratobios. Approximately 10 species are attributed to dominants (2–3 species are eudominants). 40 species are ranked as random and 9 species are rare. 4 species of Curculionoidea (Cyanapion columbinum, Curculio rubidus, Otiorhynchus albidus, Tropiphorus micans) are recorded for the first time in the Left bank forest-steppe zone of Ukraine. The values of the main indices of species diversity were low, which may indicate a significant oligodominance of Curculionoidea in all urban habitats. Most of species are herba- and dendrobionts (14–17), but almost all of them are registered as random (27) or rare (4) elements. 26 species associated with stratobios (among which most dominants elements are recorded). Species associated with meadows (21) and forests, or eurytopic species (14) are dominants in the samples; by trophic links – oligo- (32) and polyphagous species (24 ) were prevailed. 45 species prefer mesophilic habitats. The number of eurytopic mesophilous polyphagous stratogeobionts were maximal. The largest number of species (25–33) were documented in vegetation of the outskirts and household plots of city compared to the city parks and plantings of the center (18–19), but minimumly (12) in forest. The spectrum of ecological groups was also minimal in a forest, but the maximum is in the plantings of periphery and household plots of the city. Faunistic similarity was slightly more than 0.20, which may indicate specific and significant differences in the species composition of weevils in different urban habitats of Kharkiv.

This paper presents the results of research carried out in pistachio plantations in the provinces of Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo (Castilla – La Mancha Region), which led to the discovery of eight Curculionidae species from five genera (Brachyderes, Otiorhynchus, Polydrusus, SitonaandLixus) of two subfamilies (ENTIMINAE and LIXINAE).Brachyderes marginellus, B. pubescens, Polydrusus subglaber, Otiorhynchus cribricollisandLixus acicularishave been observed feeding onP. veraleaves, and they are recorded for the first time in this host plant.Polydrusus subglaberandOtiorhynchus cribricollisfed intensively in these leaves and further research on these species is recommended as they may represent important pistachio defoliators in the region. Biological and distributional data of these species are given. Se presentan los resultados de diversos muestreos llevados a cabo sobre parcelas cultivadas de pistachero en diferentes localidades de Castilla – La Mancha, en las provincias de Ciudad Real, Cuenca y Toledo. Se han encontrado un total de 8 especies de Curculionidae, de 5 géneros (Brachyderes, Otiorhynchus, Polydrusus, SitonayLixus) correspondientes a 2 subfamilias: ENTIMINAE y LIXINAE.Brachyderes marginellus, B. pubescens, Polydrusus subglaber, Otiorhynchus cribricollisyLixus acicularisse han observado alimentándose de hojas deP. veray se citan por primera vez sobre esta planta huésped.Polydrusus subglaberyOtiorhynchus cribricollisdevoran intensamente sus hojas, por lo que se propone seguir investigando estas dos especies como importantes defoliadores de pistacho en la región. Se aportan datos biológicos y corológicos para las especies encontradas.

The species of the Otiorhynchus clavipes (Bonsdorff, 1785) group (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) treated here, are characterized by their unusually high phenotypical variation, which often caused taxonomic problems and controversies. Molecular markers COI and EF1-$\alpha$, karyological analysis, as well as morphological, biogeographical and ecological data are used to study weevils collected in the Alps, Carpathians, Sudetes and different areas of Germany. In the investigated populations of the flightless species O. fagi Gyllenhal, 1834 and O. clavipes, we detected an interspecific genetic distance of 11.3-15.8% (COI) and 3.1-3.7% (EF1-$\alpha$) depending on geographical distance. The phylogenetic trees indicate that both species are monophyletic and that they were correctly delimited from each other. Both species have also separate geographical ranges in Central Europe. Male specimens differ in the morphology of the aedeagus and the last abdominal sternite. Our study supports the legitimacy of species delimitation of O. fagi and O. clavipes as separate species, which can be treated as stable taxonomic hypotheses. The determination of the species status required the re-examination of spe cies ranges and allowed together with data on biology and altitudinal preferences a better biogeographical and ecological characterization of the species.
