Is described Otiorhynchus angelae n. sp. from Mount Etna, Sicily, clearly differing from the closely related O. meridionalis Gyllenhal, 1834 by the slenderer body, less convex eyes, narrower intraocular space, smaller and more convex granules on the pronotum, paler colour with spots of thin serrate silver scales on elytra, and aedeagus with longer and narrower median lobe. O. meridionalis is distributed in southern France, eastern Pyrenees, northeastern Spain, North Africa, and Italy (Piedmont, Liguria, Abruzzo and Sicily).
