Larinus atauni sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a new species from eastern Turkey, with taxonomic notes on the leuzeae species complex

Biodiversity Application and Research Center, Atatürk University, 25240 Erzurum, Turkey
Curculionidae Larinus taxonomic review new species life history

Abstract

Notes on the Larinus leuzeae species complex are given. Lectotypes are designated for Larinus leuzeae Fabre var. staehelinae Bedel, 1908 and L. microlonchi Peyerimhoff, 1911. The new species Larinus atauni sp. nov., closely related to L. leuzeae and L. microlonchi, is described from Turkey. Its biology on the Serratula serratuloides (Asteraceae) is also described.
