Probably not...

Type of elytral sculpture completely different for me

These hind legs are very strange. I thought if this is not a specious teratology, but both legs are identical...

Thanks for suggestion, maybe someone will have other proposition

As I think, it belongs to the subgenus Prilisvanus with about 32 species, the most of them lives in Romania.

-Otiorhynchus (Prilisvanus) riessi Fuss, 1868 ??
-Otiorhynchus (Prilisvanus) fussianus Csiki, 1901 ??

Ciao from Athens,
George

I will try check these suggestions. Thank you very much

I agree with George.
Also in my opinion could be Prilisvanus.

Meanwhile, I have documented and I found this table comes from Csiki 1902, where some morphological characters are drawn.
At this point I would say that it is most likely to Otiorhynchus (Prilisvanus) riessi Fuss, 1868

Thank you for all

P.S. Have you got this article in .pdf?

A Greek song, is dedicated with much appreciation, to our friend Leonardo Forbicioni, who during the night (02.48 & 06.17 !!!) is thinking and studying about the genus Otiorhynchus. Under the title "Αδύνατον να κοιμηθώ" (= Is impossible to sleep):

The article of Csiki is in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, Wiener entomologische Zeitung, 1902, pp. 107-110:
http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page ... 7/mode/1up

as also, the brawl of Csiki with Krauss on this issue, in the same volume, pp. 244-248:
