Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) cicatricosus ( Hoppe, 1795)

Curculio cicatricosus Hoppe, 1795: 61 .

Curculio spinosus Ponza, 1805: 63 , pl. 1, Lin. 1[.2] Curculio spinosus Ponza was overlooked for a long time until Weise (1906) referred it with doubt to Coniocleonus cicatricosus ( Hoppe, 1795) , an opinion formally adopted by Csiki (1934). An anonymous hand-written note (cited by Dutto et al. 2009: 428) associated the name with Plagiographus Chevrolat, 1869. Curculio spinosus is currently a junior synonym of Coniocleonus (Plagiographus) cicatricosus ( Hoppe, 1795) ( Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017: 425) . The name is permanently invalid since it is a junior primary homonym of C. spinosus Goeze, 1777 and C. spinosus Gmelin, 1790 .

Coniocleonus cicatricosus is recorded from most mainland regions of Italy and Sicily ( Abbazzi & Maggini 2009: 74, as Stephanocleonus (S.) cicatricosus ).
