The systematic researches of the Curculionoidea, brought, in our days, great modifications. The new achievements regarding the morphology, palaeontology, biochemistry, ethnology and taxonomy are yearly analysed by the scientific community, determining different interpretations taking into account the new data, being very difficult to find a common point of view among the systematising researchers. As a result the systematisation is in a continue development and the question is, if and when could be reached a sufficient, stable systematisation. Many of the proposed modifications have already received the agreement of the researchers, for example: advancing at the rank of family of the subfamily Rhyncholophorinae (Calandrinae), the enclosure in Curculionidae family of the Scolitidae and Platipodidae family, the disposal of the subfamily Nanophixanae in the Apionidae family. The history of researches of the fauna emphasizes the fact that the fauna of the curculionoidea is a rich one, a normal situation in the case of this very numerous group of coleopteron. This is due to the fact that the oldest works regarding the curculionoidea are about fauna and taxonomy. Taking into account the entire bibliographic material regarding the Rhynchitidae and Attelabidae, in our country, we could see the attestation of only 56 works of specialty, written by 28 authors during 141 years (1850-1999). From these, the most of them approached the fauna subject or the systematizing, and, a few, the biology and ecology subjects. In the most of the publications, more aspects are approached. The works written in this period comprised data referring to other families of coleopterans, as well as to more groups of insects. KEY WORDS: historic, Coleoptera, Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae 1. THE HISTORIC OF THE SYSTEMATIC RESEARCHES From Linné till the beginning of the 20 th century all the curculionoidea were framed in the Curculio genre. Latreille, in 1807, raised the curculionoidea ACTA UNIVERSITATIS CIBINIENSIS , AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES Vol. 1, nr. 1 (6) / 2006 to a family rank. Sterlin in 1883 separated them in two big groups: Orthocera and Goniathocera, taking into account the structure of the antennas. The Orthorocera present right antennas, having the first article short, usually, and the G oniathocera having folded antennas after the first article, named scapus, having a long form (Hoffmann, 1950). At the beginning of the 20 th century many tribes were transformed in subfamilies. Reitter (1916) in the volume V of Fauna Germanica , enumerated 11 families, and Winkler(1930-1932), in Catalogus coleopterorum regionis palaeartica , a number of 28 subfamilies for the same region. The order in this catalogue didn’t reflect the phylogeny. The systematisation of the Curculionoidea suffered, in our days, important modifications. The new acquisitions regarding the morphology, palaeontology, biochemistry, ethnology and taxonomy are yearly analysed by the scientific community, determining different interpretations taking into account the new data. As a result the systematisation establishment is in a continuous development and the question is if and when will be reached a sufficient stable systematisation. Many of the proposed modifications had already received the agreement
