Otiorhynchus cf. bleusei FAUST, 1899

A comparison with specimens from the Frey collection (NMB), and the recent contribution by Magnano (2005) to the subgenus Podenobistus Reitter, 1912 revealed, that O. bleusei reported from Rhode Island (Greece) and Turkey around Izmir (Keskin & Cevik 2007b), near Denizli and Mugla (Lodos & al. 1978) is closest to the specimens from Samos (Fig. 4B). However, the extent of the species’ variability is difficult to estimate; therefore the present determination remains uncertain.
