Introduction
Currently I'm dedicating myself to the taxonomy of Curculionidae Pachyrhynchini, with special attention to the morphology of the everted endophallus. Indeed, this structure seems to help understand the phylogenetic relationships between species.
I am also studying the taxonomy of Glaphyridae, with special interest to the genus Pygopleurus: also in this case the morphology of the everted endophallus is fundamental to identify the species, and to understand the phylogenetic relationships between terminal taxa.

Historically the taxonomy of the genus Timarcha has been, and continues to be, quite confusing and largely erroneous. The confusion is mainly due to the absence of reliable traits that aid in precise identification; the lack of study of types at species-level has also contributed to the difficulty in the taxonomy. To improve this situation, we prop...
