Description

A new species Otiorhynchus scabriventris sp. n. (hitherto confused with O. creticus Voss, 1948) of the subgenus Tournieria from the Greek island of Crete is described. It is compared with the most similar O. vossianus Magnano, 2001 (= O. creticus Voss, 1948), endemic to Crete, and O. emgei Stierlin, 1887 from continental Greece. O. vossianus is hereby transferred from the subgenus Melasemnus to the subgenus Tournieria (new subgeneric placement).
