Otiorhynchus (Eunihus) praetutiorum n. sp. (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) from the Laga Massif in central Italy

Otiorhynchus (Eunihus) praetutiorum n. sp, from central Italy is described. The new species, apparently limited to the winter snow valleys of the top of the Laga Massif, is related with Carpathian, Transylvanian, and Alpine species of O. (Eunihus) Reitter, 1912 (status revised), here revived from synonymy with O. (Nihus) Reitter, 1912. Oliorhynchus praetutiorum is quite different from O. (Eunihus) abruzzensis Stierlin, 1898, also found in the Apennines, which is instead closely related to the O. (Eunihus) species from The Balkans and Anatolia, all living in dry high-altitude pastureland.
