Abstract

Parameira (Clypeomeira) subgen. nov. and P. (Clypeomeira) balkei sp. nov. are described. Otiorhynchus echinatus Hoch-huth, 1847 and O. echinatoides Reitter, 1913 are transferred to Parameira (Clypeomeira) comb. rev. The synonymy, Otio-rhynchus echinatoides Reitter, 1913 (= O. virgo Reitter, 1913 syn. rev.), is established. Diagnostic keys to subgenera of Parameira Seidlitz and to species of P. (Clypeomeira) are provided. Colour illustrations of important morphological char-acters are given.
