Otiorhynchus, Germar, 1822

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), Zootaxa 5209 (3), pp. 353-364 : 362-363

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. Otiorhynchus cypricola Reiche & Saulcy, 1858 is not included in the key because no specimens were examined.

– Elytral striae without conspicuously strong and deep punctures, funicle segment 4 isodiametric ( Figs 2 a–b )............. 8

8. Penis parallel-sided and evenly tapering to apical fifth, its apex narrowly truncate ( Figs 3 a–c ). Rostral sulcus shallow. Funicle segments 4–7 of the female transverse....................................................... schlaeflini Stierlin

– Shape of penis and funicle segments of female different....................................................... 9

9. Penis parallel-sided, apical fifth regularly rounded, apex broadly truncate ( Figs 3 d–f ). Rostral sulcus shallow. Funicle segment 4 of the females isodiametric, 5 transverse, 6-6-7 isodiametric. Body covered with relatively dense, whitish, sometimes metallic spatulate scales......................................................................... sabbadinii Pesarini

10. Elytra covered with dense metallic scales. Rostrum longer and narrower, 2.0–2.2 times longer than head, longer than wide or as long as wide....................................................................................... 11

– Body almost glabrous or glabrous, elongate, longitudinally flat. Rostrum shorter and broader, about as long as wide...... 13

11. Elytral scales broadly teardrop-shaped to subisodiametric, only very rarely more elongate. Funicle segment 1 of males 2.16 times as long as wide, 1.38 times shorter than segment 2, which is about 3 times as long as wide. Rostrum moderately wide......................................................................................... pelionis Penecke

– Elytral scales more elongate, short-oval and lanceolate intermixed, rarely drop-shaped. Rostrum moderately slender...... 12

12. Penis parallel-sided to apical fifth, tapering to broad, elongate apex, distally widely truncate ( Figs 3 j–l ). Dorsum of pronotum with less dense, convex, smaller granules. Hind tibiae weakly denticulate, with small granules.......... bischoffianus Lona

14. Elytral setae recumbent, elytra strongly granulate and wrinkled................................................ 15

– Elytral setae more or less raised. Elytra more strongly granulate and wrinkled as to make striae hardly visible................................................................................................ parnassius Apfelbeck

15. Smaller (5.9-6.9 mm). Body elongate and longitudinally flat. Eyes moderately convex and larger. Elytral striae well-developed, wrinkled and with conspicuously strong and deep punctures. Interstriae narrower on the dorsum, widened on the sides, weakly wrinkled................................................................................ subfilum Reitter
