Tychius cupriferoides ( Ragusa, 1922) View in CoL

Material examined. Sardinia: Medio Campidano prov., Gesturi, Giara di Gesturi , 568 m, UTM 32 S 495926 4401318, 15. VI .2004, G. Nardi leg., aquatic net, 1 ex ( CNBFVR) .

Notes. This weevil was thus far known in Italy only from Calabria and Sicily ( Caldara 1990) . The finding of a single specimen from the Giara di Gesturi represents the first record for Sardinia .

In addition to the above-mentioned Italian regions, Tychius cupriferoides is known from Greece and Morocco ( Caldara 1990; Alonso-Zarazaga 2004), and no data have been thus far reported about its habits. The Sardinian specimen was probably resting on hygrophilous vegetation, since it was collected with an aquatic net near a cattle water trough.
