Abstract

Otiorhynchus bialookianus Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. and Otiorhynchus jaegeri Davidian & Gültekin sp. nov. from NE Turkey (Ordu and Trabzon provinces) are described in subgenus Davidianaxius Alonso-Zarazaga, 2013 (complex of the subgenera belongs to the Tournieria Stierlin, 1861). Comparative diagnostic key to the new species of the subgenus Davidianaxius is provided. Colour illustrations of important morphological characters are presented.
