Current status: Lixus semilunatus Petri, 1904 is a junior synonym of Conorhynchus mixtus (Fabricius, 1792) .

Type. In Reitter’s collection at HNHM, is the female holotype (formerly pinned through the right elytron with a large pin which transversely cracked elytron, right middle leg missing, remounted on a paper card) bearing the handwritten labels: “Maderia, Fuente, Coll. Em. Friv.”, “ Lixus semilunatus n. sp. Petri”, “Monotypus, 1904, Lixus semilunatus Petri ” red brimmed museum label, and “ Conorhynchus mixtus (F.), Gültekin det. 2008”. It is the holotype of Lixus semilunatus . The type locality is Maderia.

Remarks. This species was misidentified by Petri (1904c) at the generic as well as species level. It is conspecific with Conorhynchus mixtus (Fabricius), as clarified by Gültekin (2006). Thus, a new combination and synonym is proposed here: Conorhynchus mixtus (Fabricius, 1792) [= Lixus semilunatus Petri, 1904 comb. and syn. n.].
