A "looks like" again (see Hypera zoilus): Lixus ochraceus from Reseda. If you send photos for our beetle gallery, I can submit them to various experts. Best regards Frank

I don't know how can I send photos to the beetle gallery.
Fortunately, I have the preliminar list of all Iberian Curculionoidea.

Nearest Reseda are many kilometres along... it can't be ochraceus, I think.

Related secies present in my country (subgenus Compsolixus):

Lixus albomarginatus
Lixus anguinus (this is not, because the elytra end are rounded)
Lixus castellanus
Lixus cruciferae
Lixus junci
Lixus laufferi


Thanks ;-)

Nice to see the lists of the spanish weevils, but unfortunately it?s terra incognita for me. To submit a pic and find my contact data, klick on the link above ;-) It?s a little bit difficult to find spanish experts for all beetle families, but for Curculionidae there are some colleagues.

This case: Subgenus Compsolixus is ok. If these are all spanish species, it can be only ochraceus or albomarginatus - living both on Reseda. Lixus doesn?t look like good fliers, but they are very mobile ;-)

Comparing your photo with my collection and books, it should be albomarginatus.

Best regards
Frank

Thanks again Frank!

I will put it as L. albomarginatus. This exemplar fly well, you can see the wings at the end of the body.
