Description
A new species of Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 of the subgenus Pterygodontus Białooki, 2015 from Mediterranean island Crete is described. O. casalinii sp. n. is closely related to O. trichopterus Białooki, 2015 but differs from that species mainly in lack of long perpendicular setae and in more elongate, transversally stronger convex elytra. O. trichopterus is hereby transferred from Podonebistus to Pterygodontus (new subgeneric placement). Probably, the two species multiply parthenogenetically.
