Two new species of Otiorhynchus (Lixorrhynchus) Reitter, 1914, and a new species of Raymondionymus Wollaston, 1873 from Aurunci Mountains (Latium) (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea)

Three new hypogean Curculionoidea have been discovered in the Aurunci Mountains (Lazio): Otiorhynchus (Lixorrhynchus) avoni n. sp.; Otiorhynchus (Lixorrhynchus) paulae n. sp. and Raymondionymus pulcherrimus n. sp. The text includes both photographs of the exoskeletal features (internal and external) that distinguish them within their respective groups, and a map summarizing the present distribution of anophthalmic and microphthalmic Lixorrhynchus in peninsular Italy and the Sardo-Corsican area. The first two species show a clear affinity with Otiorhynchus (Lixorrhynchus) bastianinii Magrini, Meoli & Abbazzi, 2005, from the central Aurunci Mountains (Grava dei Serini (= Grotta dei Serini) 587 La/FR), while the distinctive shape of the pronotum in the third species clearly places it with R. meggiolaroi (Osella, 1977) (Liguria), R. eximius Meregalli & Osella, 2006 (Lazio, Simbruini Mountains) and R. zoiai (Osella & Giusto, 1985) (Piedmont, Massiccio del Monviso).
