Hi
I catched this weevil in the night at an electric lightning. Size is 4,5 mm.
Can anyone help to determine?
Ciao

Entomoderus group dilatatus (Fabricius, 1801). It is not possible to be more precise, considering the present level of knowledge of the Mediterranean Hipporhinini. |

Thanks a lot, Massimo! So even a study of the record itself wouldn't make it better. Ciao

I had planned a revision of this genus maybe 20 years ago. It never started... I have a number for all the various species, including this species from Ibiza and the Balearic Islands. But never tried to associate a name to the number. Probably next year I will publish a nomenclatural work on the types conserved at the Paris Museum - the majority of the species were named by French entomologists, mainly (and unfortunately...) Desbrochers and Pic. In this way it may be possible to at least refer these species to a name. The first step towards a revision! |
