Abstract

Two new subgenera of the genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 are described: Prohanibotus Savitsky, subgen. n. (the type species: O. auripes Stierlin, 1875) and Parahanibotus Savitsky, subgen. n. (the type species: O. mazdaranicus Magnano, 2006). New data on the taxonomy and distribution of some little-known species of the subgenera Hanibotus Reitter, 1912 and Parahanibotus subgen. n. are presented.
