description Basing on the study of the type specimen of <em>Curculio pericarpius</em> Linnaeus, 1758 preserved in the Linnean Collection in London, and here designated as the lectotype, it was found that this name was misapplied to another close species of the genus <em>Rhinoncus</em> Schoenherr, 1825 starting from the Paykull 1792 misidentification. As a consequence, the following new synonymies are established: <em>Rhinoncus pericarpius</em> (Linnaeus, 1758) [= <em>Curculio castor</em> Fabricius, 1792, syn. n.; = <em>Curculio</em> <em>interstitialis</em> Reich, 1787, syn. n.; = <em>Curculio</em> <em>scabratus</em> Fabricius, 1792, syn. n.; = <em>Curculio</em> <em>fruticulosus</em> Herbst, 1795, syn. n.; = <em>Curculio</em> <em>interstitialis</em> Reich, 1797, syn. n.; = <em>Rhynchaenus seniculus</em> Gravenhorst, 1807, syn. n.; = <em>Campylirhynchus quadricornis</em> (Gyllenhal, 1813) sensu Dejean, 1821: 85 [misidentification] not <em>Rhynchaenus quadricornis</em> Gyllenhal, 1813, syn. n.; = <em>Rhinoncus flavipes</em> Stephens, 1831, syn. n.; = <em>Rhinoncus</em> <em>rufipes</em> Stephens, 1831, syn. n.; = <em>Rhinoncus</em> <em>granulipennis</em> Gyllenhal, 1837, syn. n.; =<em> Rhinoncus pyrrhopus</em> Boheman, 1845 sensu Hatch &amp; Kincaid,1958: 20 [misidentification] not <em>Rhinoncus pyrrhopus</em> Boheman, 1845, syn. n.]; and <em>Rhinoncus</em> <em>leucostigma</em> (Marsham, 1802) [ = <em>Curculio pericarpius</em> Linnaeus, 1758 sensu Paykull, 1792 [misidentification] not <em>Curculio</em> <em>pericarpius</em> Linnaeus, 1758, syn. n.; = <em>Cryptorhis herbstii</em> Billberg, 1820: 43 [replacement name for <em>Curculio pericarpius</em> Linnaeus sensu Paykull, 1792], syn. n.; = <em>Rhinoncus spartii</em> Stephens, 1831, syn. n.; = <em>Rhinoncus</em> <em>sanguinipes</em> Reitter, 1916, syn. n.; = <em>Rhinoncus</em> <em>pericarpius</em> ssp. montanus Hoffmann, 1960, syn. n.]. Lectotypes are designated for <em>Curculio pericarpius</em> Linnaeus, 1758 and <em>Curculio leucostigma</em> Marsham, 1802. A neotype is selected for <em>Curculio interstitialis</em> Reich, 1797.
