The first record of Greek endemic weevil Hypera ( Boreohypera ) moczarskii (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea, Curculionidae) in Central Serbia, with elements for species redescription

Abstract

The rare weevil speciesHypera(Boreohypera)moczarskiiPenecke, 1936, previously recorded only in Greece, has been registeredfor the first time in Central Serbia. Two adult males were collected in 1993 and 1994, in two places in the area of Kragujevac (CentralSerbia). These findings extendH. moczarskiis distribution area to the north, and this rare species should no longer be considered asGreek, but rather as endemic to the Balkan Peninsula. Both specimens are males, and drawings of the aedeagus are shown for the firsttime.Hypera moczarskiiis one of two European members of the subgenusBoreohyperaKorotyaev, 1999, besidesH.( B. )diversipunctata(Schrank, 1798). The distribution areas of these two species, as well as morphological and ecological data, are presented in parallel.
