Revision of the genus limobius, with the description of a new species (Coleoptera, curculionidae, hyperini)

Abstract

The new species, Limobius winkelmanni sp. n. is described, keyed, and illustrated. This enigmatic new species has seven desmomeres as other Hyperini-species, but according to shape of elytra and aedeagus, which are typical for representatives of Limobius, it is treated in this genus. The actualised key and checklist of Limobius is presented. The taxonomical position and status of the genus Limobius within the tribe Hyperini is also discussed here.
