	abstract = {Plant feeding insects and the plants they feed upon represent an ecological association that is thought to be a key factor for the diversification of many plant feeding insects, through differential adaptation to different plant selective pressures. While a number of studies have investigated diversification of plant feeding insects above the species level, relatively less attention has been given to patterns of diversification within species, particularly those that also require plants for oviposition and subsequent larval development. In the case of plant feeding insects that also require plant tissues for the completion of their reproductive cycle through larval development, the divergent selective pressure not only acts on adults, but on the full life history of the insect. Here we focus attention on Rhinusa antirrhini (Curculionidae), a species of weevil broadly distributed across Europe that both feeds on, and oviposits and develops within, species of the plant genus Linaria (Plantaginaceae). Using a combination of mtDNA (COII) and nuclear DNA (EF1-[alpha]) sequencing and copulation experiments we assess evidence for host associated genetic differentiation within R. antirrhini. We find substantial genetic variation within this species that is best explained by ecological specialisation on different host plant taxa. This genetic differentiation is most pronounced in the mtDNA marker, with patterns of genetic variation at the nuclear marker suggesting incomplete lineage sorting and/or gene flow between different host plant forms of R. antirrhini, whose origin is estimated to date to the mid-Pliocene (3.77 Mya; 2.91-4.80 Mya).},

Lectotypes of Cumuli inquisitor Herbst, 1797 and. C. obliteratus Herbst, 1795 are also designated. Cumuli() inquisitor Herbst, 1797 is newly synonymized with Thryogenes festucae (Herbst, 1795). The following synonymies are confirmed: Notaris aethiops (Fabricius, 1793) = Curculio holomelanus Herbst, 1795, Tanysphyrus lemnae (Fabricius, 1793) = Cumuli inspectatus Herbst, 1795, Grypus brunnirostris (Fabricius, 1793) = Curculio obliteratus Herbst, 1795, Notaris scirpi (Fabricius, 1792) = Curculio rhamni Herbst, 1784. Following the provisions of ICZN Article 23.9.3 the reversal of precedence of Notaris scirpi (Fabricius, 1792) (formerly Curculio) over Curculio rhamni Herbst, 1784 will be requested to the ICZN Commission.},

Moreover, under the name R. hispida sensu auctorum two distinct taxa are confused, which can be distinguished from each other by taxonomic, biological and genetic differences: R. pilosa (Gyllenhal, 1838) and R. brondelii (Brisout, 1862), stat. n. (= R. lanuginosa (Wollaston, 1875), syn. n.). Gymnetron vulpes Lucas, 1849 (= G. marmota Fairmaire, 1883, syn. n.), previously placed under synonymy of R. hispida (Brulle), is transferred to the genus Mecinus and considered a distinct species. A neotype of G. pilosum brondelii Brisout and lectotypes of G. hispidum Brulle, G. pilosum Gyllenhal, G. vulpes Lucas and G. lanuginosum Wollaston are designated.},

	abstract = {A phylogenetic analysis of the species belonging to the weevil genus Rhinusa Stephens, 1829 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Curculioninae: Mecinini) was carried out. Rhinusa weevils feed on plants of the closely related families Scrophulariaceae and Plantaginaceae. Based on a cladistic analysis of six outgroup and 33 ingroup taxa, and 39 adult morphological and 8 ecological characters, eight well supported species groups and two monobasic groups belonging to three separate and more inclusive assemblages were recognized. The first assemblage (A) includes nine species belonging to two groups (R. bipustulata and R. tetra groups), whereas the second and third assemblages (B and C) include a total of 14 species belonging to two groups (R. antirrhini and R. linariae groups) and six groups (R. pilosa, R. herbarum, R. neta, R. vestita, R. mauritii and R. melas groups), respectively. Two of the three main assemblages (A and B) are well supported as monophyletic entities, whereas the third assemblage (C) has weak support contingent in part upon the exclusion of host plant associations. Assemblage A includes all species living on species of Scrophulariaceae, with two groups occurring on two closely related plant genera, Scrophularia (R. bipustulata group) and Verbascum (R. tetra group), respectively. The other two assemblages include species living exclusively on species of the family Plantaginaceae, tribe Antirrhineae. These patterns suggest a well conserved and phylogenetically congruent association among the weevils and their hosts. Optimizing host plant preferences onto the morphological phylogeny indicates that feeding on Plantaginaceae was the plesiomorphic condition for the genus Rhinusa. In general there are no strict relationships between groups of weevils and their specific feeding habits; however, species of the R. antirrhini group are all feeding on seed capsules. In contrast, in other groups the larvae of closely related species display significant variations in host plant parasitism. Some species of the R. tetra group feed on seed capsules whereas others are stem borers. In turn, certain species of the R. neta group feed on seed capsules yet others are inquilines of gall forming species of Rhinusa. The latter habit is present in multiple convergent groups such as the R. linariae and R. pilosa groups.},

	year = {2012},
	month = {31 May},
	pages = {31-40},
	abstract = {All taxa closely related to or synonymized with Rhinusa tetra (Fabricius, 1792) are studied, including the available type mate- rial. Four species are considered taxonomically valid: Rhinusa tetra, R. comosa (Rosenschoeld, 1838), R. moroderi (Reitter, 1906), R. verbasci (Rosenschoeld, 1838). The following four new synonymies are proposed: R. tetra (= Gymnetron eoum Rosenschoeld, 1838 syn. n.; = Cleopus uncinatus Dufour, 1843 syn. n.; = Cleopus verbasci Dufour, 1843 syn. n.); R. moroderi (= Gymnetron otini Hustache, 1946 syn. n). Neotypes are designated for Cionus amictus Germar, 1821, Cleopus uncinatus and Cleopus verbasci. Lectotypes are designated for Curculio teter, Gymnetron comosum, Gymnetron crassirostre Lucas, 1849, Gymnetron eoum, Gymnetron fuscescens Rosenschoeld, 1838, Gymnetron haemorrhoum Rosenhauer, 1847, Gymnetron moro- deri, Gymnetron plagiellum Gyllenhal, 1838, Gymnetron trigonale Gyllenhal, 1838 and Gymnetron verbasci, all currently included in Rhinusa. A key separating the four valid species is supported by diagnoses, biological notes, distributional data and illustrations. These new findings are important because R. tetra in the broad sense was proposed as a potential candidate for the biological control of invasive Common Mullein (Verbascum thapsus L.) in North America.},
