Description

Chiloneus ottomanus Desbrochers des Loges, 1892

Chiloneus ottomanus Desbrochers des Loges, 1892: 113.

Chiloneus ottomanus: Winkler, 1932: 1469; Dalla Torre et al., 1937: 178; Borovec, 2013b: 380.

Type locality. Turquie [Turkey] (Desbrochers des Loges, 1892).

Type material examined. Lectotype (here designated): 1 spec. (MNHN, Desbrochers coll.), ‘ Turquie [hw] / Ex Museo / Desbrochers / 1914 [p] // LECTOTYPUS / Chiloneus / ottomanus Desbr., 1892 / Borovec & Perrin desig. 2015 [p, red] // Chiloneus / ottomanus Dsbr. / R. Borovec det. 2015 [p/hw]’. 1 spec. (MNHN, Desbrochers coll.), ‘Ex Museo / Desbrochers / 1914 [p]’.

Remarks. The lectotype of Chiloneus ottomanus is 5.94 mm long. The moderately large, slender and elongate brownish body with sparsely punctured pronotum make this species very similar to C. brevithorax. From C. brevithorax it is distinguishable by small teeth on all femora, inner elytral intervals with piliform appressed setae and funicle segments 6 and 7 transverse.
