Abstract

Three new species, including Otiorhynchus maximi Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov., Otiorhynchus dudkoi Davidian sp. nov. and Otiorhynchus torosicus Gültekin & Davidian sp. nov. are described from southern Turkey. Otiorhynchus maximi Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. and Otiorhynchus dudkoi Davidian sp. nov. belong to the subgenus Odelengus Reitter, 1912 and closely related to Otiorhynchus (Odelengus) aberrans Stierlin, 1872 and Otiorhynchus (Odelengus) heinzi Smreczyński, 1977, respectively. Taxonomic position of O. torosicus Gültekin & Davidian sp. nov. is not clear, so it is tentatively included herein in the subgenus Nubidanus Reitter, 1912. Morphological differences of the subgenera Odelengus Reitter, 1912 and Nubidanus Reitter, 1912 are discussed. Colour illustrations of habitus and important morphological characters are presented.
