Rhizotrogini comprises just over 45 taxa in Italy, some of which are endemic or subendemic. However, the elusive nature of several taxa, along with the uncertain taxonomic status of certain species, means that some species or populations within these taxa remain subjects of ongoing discussion and research. This contribution is devoted to the description of a new species of Rhizotrogus from the Island of Pantelleria (Sicily Channel, Italy), historically confused with Rhizotrogus pallidipennis Blanchard, 1851.

Abstract
Rhizotrogini comprises just over 45 taxa in Italy, some of which are endemic or subendemic. However, the elusive nature of several taxa, along with the uncertain taxonomic status of certain species, means that some species or populations within these taxa remain subjects of ongoing discussion and research. This contribution is devoted to the description of a new species of Rhizotrogus from the Island of Pantelleria (Sicily Channel, Italy), historically confused with Rhizotrogus pallidipennis Blanchard, 1851.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
