Beitrag zur Kenntnis der Otiorhynchus denigrator-Gruppe (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) - in Deutch

• Mieczysław MAZUR

Abstract:

A new group “denigrator” was set up from species belonging to three subgenera: Otiorhynchus s. str., Dorymerus SEIDL, and Arammichnus GOZIS, i.e. Otiorhynchus politus GYLL., O. denigrator BOH., O. krueperi STRL., O. hospitus REITT., O. regliae REITT., O. macedonicus REITT., O. joakimoffi APF. and O. winkleri SOL. The paper contains diagnosis of the above mentioned group, characteristic of particular species (synonyms, morphology, infraspecies form, geographical distribution) and description of O. biformatus sp.n, from the Pirin Mountains, Bulgaria. The probably belonging of a few others species (O. shardaghensis APF., O. dorymeroides SOL., O. anomalus OL., O. iskrae ANG., O. bistrae ANG.) to the “denigrator” group is also discussed.
