Abstract

Two new species Otiorhynchus karadeniz Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. and Otiorhynchus aziziyensis Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. are described from eastern Turkey. Otiorhynchus karadeniz Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. closely related to Otiorhynchus (Choilisanus) megareoides Smreczyński, 1977. Otiorhynchus aziziyensis Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. is tentatively included in the subgenus Choilisanus Reitter, 1912. Stierlinellus Reitter, 1913 is resurrected from synonym of Choilisanus Reitter, 1912. Otiorhynchus megareus Reitter, 1913 and Otiorhynchus rotundicollis Stierlin, 1876 are redescribed. Colour illustrations of habitus and important morphological characters are presented.
