Abstract

Parameira (Clypeomeira) subgen. nov. and P. (Clypeomeira) balkei sp. nov. are described. Otiorhynchus echinatus Hochhuth, 1847 and O. echinatoides Reitter, 1913 are transferred to Parameira (Clypeomeira) comb. rev. The synonymy, Otiorhynchus echinatoides Reitter, 1913 (= O. virgo Reitter, 1913 syn. rev.), is established. Diagnostic keys to subgenera of Parameira Seidlitz and to species of P. (Clypeomeira) are provided. Colour illustrations of important morphological characters are given.
