Type locality. “ Bus Val Dé , 860 m, Gazzaniga, Bergamo”.

Diagnosis. A Baldorhynchus of oval shape and of large size (length 4.80 mm.) belonging to the B. moczarskii group with elytra length/width ratio 2.00. Within the species group it is distinguished for the body size generally small, the elongate rostrum, not gibbose and slightly carinate. Punctation of the pronotum coarse, irregularly scattered, dense and strongly deep. Elytral punctation small, isodiametric, dense, deep but no perfectly aligned. Total length: 4.80 mm. Elytra with length/width ratio 1.97. Pronotum length 1.00 mm with length/width ratio 1.18.

Description. See Osella (1983) and figures hoc opus.

Holotype. Female. Total length: 4.80 mm. Scape length: 1.00 mm; funicle length: 1.00 mm. Scape length/ funicle length ratio: 1.00. Funicle with club ratios: 13: 8: 6: 7: 5: 6: 5: 27 (club). Vestigial eyes present, barely visible, partially covered by yellowish pubescence. Vertex width/mesorostrum width: ratio 1.70. Pronotum ratio: 1.18 (length: 1.00 mm, width: 0.85 mm). Elytra ratio: 1.97 (length: 2.80 mm, width: 1.42 mm).

Male. Not known.

Distribution. See Osella (1983) and Fig. 132 . Italian endemic. Known only from “Büs Val Dé” (n°1038 LoBG) cave at 860 meters of elevation in “Val di Plaz” locality near Gazzaniga, Bergamo. The geographical coordinates of the locality “Galleria superiore delle Fiorine” old mine at 600 meters of elevation: 45.875526° N, 9.928490° E.

Material. We examined the material studied by Osella (1983). Other material: “ Val Seriana, BG [Bergamo], Clusone, Fiorine, Via Valflos, 9 0 5 1990, R. Monguzzi ” ( RMO), one female genitalia were examined; " Lombardia, BG [Bergamo], Clusone , galleria superiore delle Fiorine , 13.VIII.2013, Pedersoli D. Leg.” ( MGR), one female genitalia were examined; " Lombardia, BG [ Bergamo ], Clusone , galleria superiore delle Fiorine , 5.X.2013 , Bodei L. leg.” ( MGR), one female (abdomen). "IT, Lombardia, BG [Bergamo], Clusone, 580 m, Grotta di Via Val Flesh , 1496 LoBG, 18 III 2015 , leg. Pedersoli D." (CBE): one female genitalia were examined.

Ecology/Phenology. See Osella (1983).

Reproduction. Probably parthenogenetic. Species known only from five females.

Systematic notes. In this work, we elevate the taxon Otiorhynchus (Baldorhynchus) moczarskii comottii (Osella, 1983) to species level as Baldorhynchus comottii (Osella, 1983) .
