| : | A new species of the weevil genus Sitona Germar, 1817 is described from Kopet Dagh (Syunt Mountain) and Talysh (Lerik District in Azerbaijan, Transcaucasia). Sitona medvedevi sp. n. is similar to S. cylindricollis Fahraeus, 1840, widely distributed and common in Transcaucaisa and Middle Asia, in the habitus and the aedeagus shape, but clearly differs in the shorter rostrum which is usually noticeably narrowed apically; markedly more convex eyes, not-depressed frons, shorter pronotum somewhat flattened dorsoventrally along sides in the basal half and with more uniform punctation on dorsum, in the shorter elytra with less distinct checkered pattern, and in the well developed short subrecumbent pubescence of the dorsal surface of the body. |
