Buongiorno!

I am far from being sure with this 4 mm Curculionidae. Perhaps genus Pseudomeira? Pseudomeira eremita?

Grazie
Michael

Pseudomeira tenuicornis (Schaufuss, 1882)
-Body of pale colour. Antennae a little thinner, also funicular segment seven generally rather elongate. Penis in dorsal view widely cordiform at apex.........................................tenuicornis (Schaufuss, 1882)
-Body of earthy colour. Antennae a little thicker, funicular segment seven usually moniliform or a little transversal. Penis in dorsal view subtruncate at apex, its lateral margins widely blunt ........eremita Pierotti, Bellò & Alonso-Zarazaga, 2010

Thank you for the correction. I looked upon the 7th funicular segment and thought it was not "rather elongate". These characteristics are so difficult without a picture....
