    Chiloneus hoffmanni (Gonzáles, 1970) (Coleoptera Curculionidae) new to Italy, with a checklist of the species of the genus and ecological notes

    ABSTRACT
    Chiloneus hoffmanni (González, 1970) (Coleoptera Curculionidae) thus far considered a Maltese endemic, is here recorded for the first time from Lampedusa island (Italy). Several adults of this species and of C. solarii Pesarini, 1970 were found feeding on leaves of Charybdis pancration (Asparagaceae). These observations constitute the first data on the ecology of these species. An updated checklist of Chiloneus Schoenherr, 1842 is also provided.
