Zur richtigen Schreibweise des Artnamens siehe in: Borovec, R. & Colonnelli, E. (2021): On the species of Chiloneus SCHOENHERR, 1842 from Greece and Cyprus, with description of two new species, and taxonomic notes on related genera (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae). Koleopterologische Rundschau 91: 227–238.
NOMENCLATURAL NOTE: In the original description (KRAATZ 1859), the epithet was spelled as “ionicus”. The incorrect subsequent spelling “jonicus” was originally introduced by KIESENWETTER (1864: 247), and since then it was unfortunately used in a number of catalogues.
