I think it's very similar to
Hypolixus pica Fabricius, 1798
It has been discussed again in 2013 in the forum:

There is at least one known species of genus Hypolixus in Tunisia:

Hypolixus serripes Desbrochers des Loges, 1898

I am looking at the original description -
L'absence de fovéole frontale distincte et la denticulation très nette de l'extrémité des tibias antérieurs la distingueront, en outre, facilement, de toutes autres espèces du genre.

So it seems to be really the H. serripes.

Thank you very much for your answer, George!

It is Lixus (Prionolixus) soricinus (Marseul, 1868), already known from Tunisia. Nice weevil!
