... sul genere Otiorhynchus ho bisogno di aiuto!!
quale specie?
nei muschi, (a "occhio" 6/7 mm)

For a start, subgenus Metopiorrhynchus.
For the species I can not say, there are many of them in NW Italy.

Thank you George,

Wow, probably is a very good idea !!!
I haven't the original description by L. Magnano (for an absolute confirmation), but there are in the collection here 3 old specimens (29/V/1987) of this species, after exchanges. They are very similar.
Length 5.6-5.8 mm. Collected 35 Km to the NW from your specimen.
Perhaps a useful feature: All the 3 femorae with teeth, but the the hind femora with the largest tooth.
