Taxonomic notes:

When describing this species, Magnano (2003) assigned it to the genus Parameira Seidlitz, 1868 , which includes 7 species distributed mostly over southern Europe and P. gebleri Faust, 1893 from southern Siberia. Reasons for this assignment were not given. Four paratypes of Parameira pisidica were examined and compared both with Parameira species and Otiorhynchus (Eunihus) species. First, there are no significant differences between P. pisidica and Otiorhynchus (Eunihus) . Second, P. pisidica does not show any of the significant apomorphies of Parameira , such as the epistomal carina surrounding the epistome and the posterior squamulate fringe of the pronotum. Its elytra are pyriform as in Eunihus but not oblong-ovate as in Parameira .
