A new species, Otiorhynchus (Mongolorrhynchus) altaipilosus Legalov, sp. nov. from South-eastern Russian Altai of Western Siberia is described and illustrated. This species is similar to O. populiger Arnoldi, 1975 from Bayankhongor Province but differs from it in small teeth on the femora, the length of the rostrum is subequal to its width at the base, wider elytra, and the rugose-punctate pronotum. A distribution map for O. altaipilosus Legalov, sp. nov. and O. populiger is given.
