Hylobius (Callirus) transversovittatus ( Goeze, 1777) View in CoL

Curculio transverso-vittatus Goeze, 1777: 396 View in CoL .

Curculio brunonianus Ponza, 1805: 61 View in CoL syn. n.

Curculio brunonianus Ponza View in CoL was listed by Sherborn (1924: 916), neglected again in subsequent catalogues of Curculionidae View in CoL , and considered a nomen dubium by Alonso-Zarazaga et al. (2017: 538). Its type was destroyed already before publication ( Ponza 1805: 39, footnote). Dutto et al. (2009: 428) pointed out that an anonymous hand-written note on a copy of Ponza’s (1805) paper refers this name to Hylobius fatuus ( Rossi, 1790) View in CoL , which is a synonym of H. transversovittatus ( Goeze, 1777) ( Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017) View in CoL . From this and the original description, we formally synonymize C. brunonianus Ponza, 1805 View in CoL with H. (Callirus) transversovittatus ( Goeze, 1777) View in CoL (new synonymy).

In Italy, H. transversovittatus View in CoL occurs across most of the mainland regions and in Sicily ( Abbazzi & Maggini 2009). In this country, from a conservation point of view, the species is classified as “Least Concern” ( Colonnelli & Gatti 2015) but, in reality, is it becoming very rare and even disappearing from many localities (E. Colonnelli, unpublished data).
