Type locality. “Buso del Gato, loc. Loneri, Roverè, Verona”.
Diagnosis. A Baldorhynchus of medium size belonging to the B. baldensis group with elytra elongate-oval. Within the species group, it is recognisable by the short antennae and the gibbous pronotum (sub-hexagonal, curved sides). Punctation of pronotum is small or coarse, irregularly arranged, sparse and deep. Elytral punctation not small, aligned and very deep. Length 4.42–4.84 mm. Elytra with length/width ratio 1.85–1.90. Pronotum length 1.10–1.15 mm with length/width ratio 1.10–1.18.
Description. See Osella (1983) and figures of hoc opus.
Holotype. Female. Total length: 4.60 mm. Scape length: 0.95 mm; funicle length: 1.00 mm. Scape length/ funicle length ratio: 0.95. Funicle with club ratios: 11: 7: 4: 5: 4: 6: 5: 30 (club). Vestigial eyes present, barely visible. Vertex width/mesorostrum width: ratio 1.81. Pronotum ratio: 1.17 (length: 1.15 mm, width: 0.98 mm). Elytra ratio: 1.85 (length: 2.60 mm, width: 1.40 mm).
Distribution. See Fig.128. Italian endemic. Known only from “Grotta Buso del Gato” cave (1421 V /VR) at 676 meters of elevation: 45°35’29.40’’N 11°3’4.49’’E, Lessini Mountains.
Material. We examined both the material of Osella (1983) than Monguzzi (1999).
Other material. " Veneto, M. Lessini, (VR), Cerro Veronese, Gr. Buso del Gato, 3-V- [19’]91, leg. G. Trezzi " (RMO): one female topotype; “ Veneto, Monti Lessini. Roverè Veronese (VR); Buso del Gatto (1421 V /VR), 685 m, 27.III.1986, E. Piva leg.” (CBE): one male (remain). Genitalia of all specimens were examined.
Sexual dimorphism. In this species, the sexual dimorphism is strongly pronounced.
Ecology/Phenology. See Osella (1983) and Monguzzi (1999).
Reproduction. Amphigonic.
Systematic notes. Baldorhynchus lessinicus (Osella, 1983) nom. res. from Troglorhynchus amicalis ssp. lessinicus Osella (1983) = Otiorhynchus (Baldorhynchus) amicalis cenomanus (Colonnelli & Magnano, 2003). In addition, in this work, we elevate the taxon Otiorhynchus (Baldorhynchus) amicalis cenomanus (Osella, 1983) to species level as Baldorhynchus lessinicus (Osella, 1983). The indicated collector (leg.) Mietto in the original description (Osella, 1983) is incorrect, Minetto is correct.
