Abstract

A new species of weevil in the tribe Omiini from Tara Mountain, Serbia Omiamima tarensis Pešić & Borovec sp. nov., is described, illustrated, and compared with related species. The presence of an amphigonic population of Omiamima mollina (Boheman) from Serbia is recorded for the first time and facilitated the re-description of the sexual dimorphism in O. mollina and the definition of the new species. Omiamima tarensis has been collected in association with Chamaecytisus ratisbonensis (Schaeff.) Rothm. (Fabaceae).
