Abstract

Torneuma curtulum vastum Stüben, 2007 (Curculionidae) is raised to species level (stat. rev.). Choragus aurolineatus Abeille de Perrin, 1893, Melanopsacus grenieri (C. Brisout, 1867) (Anthribidae), Hemitrichapion pavidum (Germar, 1817), Holotrichapion barbirostre (Hoffmann, 1952) (Apionidae), Ceutorhynchus resedae (Marsham, 1802), Tychius cupriferoides (Ragusa, 1922) and Orchestes erythropus (Germar, 1821) (Curculionidae) are newly recorded from Sardinia. Melanopsacus grenieri is newly recorded from Sicily, and its association with the pyrenomycete fungus Hypoxylon mediterraneum is newly reported.
