Abstract - Neumatora annamariae n. sp. from the Island of Lampedusa (Pelagie Islands, Sicily) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Cossoninae) - In this note the Authors describe and illustrate Neumatora annamariae, new species from the Island of Lampedusa. The new species is similar to N. depressa Normand, 1920 from Tunisia, from which it can be easily recognized for the peculiar morphological characters presented in two tables. The introduction highlights the controversial phases of the systematic positioning of the genus Neumatora, alternatively attributed to the Cryptorhynchinae (Torneumatini) or the Cossoninae. An updated list of the known Neumatora species and a map showing their distributions are also given.
