Notes on some species of Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 sensu strictu, with new synonymies and a neotype designation (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

The unexpected finding of an Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 sensu stricto on the Mount
Amiata, central Italy, led to designate a neotype for Curculio clavipes Bonsdorff , 1785 and
to discover several overlooked synonymies among the species group to which it belongs.
The new synonymies are as follows: Otiorhynchus clavipes (Bonsdorff , 1785), stat. rev.
