On the validity of Mogulones albolineatus (J. Frivaldszky, 1878) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Journal Title: Annals of the Upper Silesian Museum in Bytom, Entomology - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue

Abstract

Mogulones albolineatus (J. Frivaldszky, 1878), formerly synonymised with the closely related species M. lineatus (Gyllenhal, 1837) and later also confused with another closely related species, M. sublineellus (C.N.F. Brisout de Barneville, 1869), is shown to be a valid species and redescribed here. The informal species-subgroup of Mogulones lineatus is here defined and a key to its species is included. Mogulones albolineatus lives on several plant species of the genus Onosma in Southeastern and Central Europe, the Caucasus and Turkey.
