Phyllobius brenskei Schilsky, 1911 View in CoL ( Figs 1–2; 6 View FIGURE 1–8 ; 13–14 View FIGURE 9–16 ; 27–28 View FIGURES 17–30 )

The two syntype specimens examined fit well with the description by Schilsky (1911). Schilsky mentioned the following type localities: “In Griechenland. Auf Morea [= Peloponnese] bei Hagios Vlassis von Brenske gesammelt und seinem Andenken gewidmet. Herr Reitter hat diese Art als Ph. celadonius [sic; confusion with Ph. seladonius Brullé, 1832 ] Brull. verschickt.”

In order to maintain stability of nomenclature, we select a lectotype from the syntypes of Phyllobius brenskei from the MNFB. Lectotype male: “Morea Pic/Pir [?] // ♂ // coll. Schilsky // Brenskei typ. // SYNTYPE / Phyllobius / brenskei Schilsky, 1911 / labelled by MNFB 2024 // [barcode label]” ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1–8 ). Additional label “Lectotype Phyllobius brenskei Schilsky, 1911 des. Germann, Wartmann & Winkelmann, 2025 [red label]” . — Paralectotype female: “ Morea / Hagios Wlassis / Brenske // D. Seidl.
