Length 1.4-1.9 mm. Integument shining black except for funicular segments of antennae yellow (scape and club darker than funicular segments). Rostrum long (Rl/Rw 3.5-3.7), in lateral view slightly curved and thin, in dorsal view with widest point at apex; upper surface smooth at middle, with 2-3 confused rows of punctures only at sides; with two small tubercles at antennal insertion (arrow in fig. 8). Antennae with bilobate clavate scape, 2.4-2.6x longer that wide and 1.2-1.3x longer than first funicular segment, which is as robust as scape, 2.0-2.2x longer than wide and distinctly more robust than others, asymmetrical and irregularly clavate in its basal half, 1.3-1.4x longer than second segment which is 1.9-2.1x longer than wide, third and fourth segment 1.9-2.0x longer than wide, fifth-seventh segments transverse. Vertex of head distinctly convex (fig. 10). Eyes distinctly convex and prominent. Pronotum moderately conical, transverse (Pw/Pl 1.60-1.70), widest between basal and middle third, with slightly curvilinear sides, with robust and dense punctures, intervals between punctures a little narrower than punctures and with moderately shining surface and distinct microsculpture. Elytra suboval, distinctly longer than wide (El/Ew 1.30-1.40), with pronounced humeri, at base wider than pronotum (Ew/Pw 1.18-1.20), widest at apical third, weakly convex; striae with distinct punctures being separated each other by narrow intervals placed on a plain slightly lower than that of interstriae, the latter a little wider than striae and nearly flat. Metafemora distinctly globose (l/ w 2.5). Pro- and mesotibiae with robust uncus (l/w 3). First tarsomere 3.0-3.3x longer than wide, second tarsomere 1.6-1.8x longer than wide, onychium 3.8-4.0x longer than wide. Body of penis with rectilinear sides, slightly narrowing from base to apex, slightly emarginate at its base.</p> <p>Variability. As emphasized in the description, both pronotum and elytra vary moderately in their length and width and a little in the curvature of the sides.</p> <p>Etymology. This species was named in honor of our friend and colleague Cosimo Baviera, who is currently one of the foremost experts in the knowledge of the Sicilian entomofauna.</p> <p>Comparative notes (see Table 2). This taxon is very closely related to R. oxyacanthae and R. hampsicora. It differs from both species by the longer first tarsomere of the metatarsi (fig. 17) and the body of the penis (fig. 19). Moreover, it differs from R. oxyacanthae by the vertex of the head being more convex (fig. 10), the tubercles of the rostrum at base of the antennae being less distinct and poorly separated from each other (fig. 8), the metafemora more globose (fig. 17). On the contrary it shares all these characters with R. hampsicora from which, apart from the length of the tarsi, it can be separated by the shape of the pronotum which is less conical and less transverse, widest more forward (between middle and basal third) and with less curvilinear sides, and the body of the penis with rectilinear sides.</p> <p>Host plants. This species was collected on Crataegus sp. at the type locality and on Crataegus monogyna at Bosco di Ficuzza by L. Diotti, on Crataegus laciniata Ucria, a Sicilian endemic, by C. Baviera in the Nebrodi moun- tains. In the type locality, C. Baviera collected R. bavierai on Pyrus sp. located very near plants of Crataegus sp.</p> <p>Distribution.

Length mm 1.5-2.0. Integument of body black, legs with femora and tibiae black, tarsi blackish; antennae yellow except slightly darker scape and black club. Rostrum long (Rl/Rw 3.5-3.7), in lateral view slightly curved, thin, in dorsal view with widest point at apex; upper surface smooth at middle, with 2-3 confused rows of punctures only at sides; with two small tubercles at antennal insertion. Antennae with clavate scape, 2.4- 2.6x longer than wide and 1.2-1.3x longer than first funicular segment, which is asymmetrical and irregularly clavate in basal half, 2.0-2.2x longer than wide, as robust as scape and distinctly more robust and 1.3-1.4x longer than second segment which is 1.9-2.0x longer than wide, third and fourth segments 1.9-2.0x longer than wide, fifth-seventh segment transverse. Vertex of head distinctly convex. Eyes distinctly convex and prominent. Pronotum conical, transverse (Pw/Pl 1.75-1.85), widest at base, where the sides are curvilinear, with robust and thick punctures. Elytra suboval, distinctly longer than wide (El/Ew 1.30-1.40), with prominent humeri, at base wider than pronotum (Ew/ Pw 1.15-1.18), widest at apical third, weakly convex; striae clearly distinct, with thick punctures, interstriae slightly convex.

Body of penis with slightly arcuate sides being gradually narrowed from base to apex, slightly emarginate at its base.</p> <p>Variability. We observed small differences in the length and width of pronotum and elytra among the specimens of the type series</p> <p>Etymology. This species is named after the famous Sardous hero, Hampsicora, who tried to oppose the Roman conquest of Sardinia in 215 BC.</p> <p>Comparative notes (see Table 2). This taxon has many characters in common with R. bavierai that allow it to be distinguished from R. oxyacanthae, such as the vertex of the head more convex, the tubercles of the rostrum at base of the antennae less distinct and poorly separated from each other, and the metafemora more globose (see figs, 8, 10, 17). Rhamphus hampiscora differs from R. bavierai only by the shorter tarsi, especially the first tarsomere of the metatarsi (fig. 17), the shape of the pronotum, which is more conical and more transverse, widest at its base and with more curvilinear sides, and the shape of the penis with slightly curved sides.</p> <p>Host plant. This species was consistently collected by L. Diotti by beating Prunus sp. at the type locality, Monte Albo, and also at Burcei.</p> <p>Distribution. Sardinia.</p></div> 	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/320887B3FFACFFE10AB7E35C59A9F898	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.
