| Summary: | is described and illustrated the parthenogenetic species <em>Otiorhynchus</em> (<em>Eprahenus</em>) <em>cooteri</em> sp. n. from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, close to the amphigonic <em>O. aksudshabaglinus</em> Bajtenov, 1974 from an adjoining area of Kazakhstan. The new species is allied with other central asiatic <em>O.</em> (<em>Eprahenus</em>), with all of which is shortly compared, whereas other members of the subgenus occurring in the Caucasus and surrounding area appear rather distantly related with the ones here considered. <em>Otiorhynchus kasakhstanicus </em>Arnoldi, 1964 is moved to <em>O.</em> (<em>Zariedus</em>) Reitter, 1912 from <em>O.</em> (<em>Eprahenus</em>) Reitter, 1912. |
