The species Otiorhynchus salicicola Heyden, 1908 is resurrected from the recently established synonymy with O. apenninus Stierlin, 1883. The lectotypes of O. salicicola and O. apenninus are designated. As a consequence of the examination of the type, the new synonymy of O. apenninus with O. armadillo (Rossi, 1792) is established. Furthermore, O. wellschmiedi Frieser, 1975 is synonymised with O. Armadillo. In addition an overview of all synonyms of O. armadillo and O. salicicola, respectively, is given.
