A new checklist of the weevils of Poland (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)

Abstract

Complete and updated list of 1052 species (including one subspecies) of the weevils (Curculionoidea) found in Poland until 2004 is given, with comments on all systematic and nomenclatural changes compared to the last published catalogue (2000). The index of 273 genera and 94 subgenera, together with their type species, is given separately. Status of the following taxa has been changed: Perapion oblongum (Gyllenhal) (resurrected from synonymy with P. curtirostre (Germar)); Phyllobius vespertinus (Fabricius) (resurrected from synonymy with Ph. pyri (Linnaeus)); Microplontus melanostigma (Marsham) (resurrected from synonymy with M. rugulosus (Herbst)); Otiorhynchus reichei Stierlin is transferred from subgenus Amosilnus Reitter to subgenus Magnanotius Alonso-Zarazaga et Lyal; Melanobaris Alonso-Zarazaga et Lyal, Aulacobaris Desbrochers and Labiaticola Alonso-Zarazaga et Lyal reduced to subgenera of Baris Germar. Records on 27 species of the total number are considered doubtful, the occurrence of these species in Poland should be confirmed. Twenty five taxa have been added to the list of Polish weevils, 6 of them announced for the first time, 3 others are indicated as undescribed or unidentified species. Barypeithes globus Seidlitz has been deleted from the list, whilst Acallocrates denticollis (Germar) is replaced with A. colonnellii Bahr and Mogulones t-album (Gyllenhal) with M. aubei (Boheman).
