I. 2019. Contribution to the knowledge of the genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) fauna of Ukraine. Part 2. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 14 (2): 530-546] ABSTRACT: New records of the genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 species (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Etiminae) in Ukraine is represented: O. kollari (Gyllenhal, 1834); O. reichei Stierlin, 1861; O. carinatopunctatus (Retzius, 1783); O. coecus coecus Germar, 1823; O. lirus Schoenherr, 1834; O. multipunctatus (Fabricius, 1792); O. tenebricosus (Herbst, 1784); O. pinastri (Herbst, 1795); O. morio morio Fabricius, 1781; O. nodosus (Müller, 1764); O. krattereri Boheman, 1842; O. obsidianus Boheman, 1842; O. lithantracius Boheman, 1842. Updated information regarding geographical distribution of these species in Ukraine and the Palearctic Region is provided. In the present paper we report the first records of O. kollari and O. krattereri in Lviv Region of Ukraine. Also, we recommend including O. reichei and O. lithantracius in The Red List of Ukraine, The Red Lists of Kyiv Region (O. reichei), the Ukrainian Carpathians, and Zakarpatska Region (O. lithantracius) of Ukraine. KEY WORDS: Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae, Otiorhynchus, Palearctic Region, Ukraine The genus Otiorhynchus comprises over 1500 species distributed in the Palaearctic Region and introduced to other regions (Alonso-Zarazaga et al., 2017). The genus Otiorhynchus fauna of Ukraine comprises about 100 species (Alonso- Zarazaga et al., 2017; Yunakov et al., 2018a) and in last 20 years was reviewed in a few publications of Yunakov and coauthors (Yunakov, 1998; 2003a,b; Yunakov et al., 2018a), and other important papers and internet databases as well (Mazur, 2002; Nazarenko & Sheshurak, 2003; Zhygalin & Sirenko, 2007; Sirenko, 2013; Nazarenko & Parhomenko, 2016; Yunakov et al., 2018b). This paper is the next in a series of publication containing new faunistic information on the distribution of the genus Otiorhynchus in Ukraine and notes on its distribution in the Palearctic Region. The present paper is devoted to the species which inhabiting mainly in the western regions of the country. In the western part of Ukraine the highest mountains in the country, the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains (altitude up to 2061 m) and adjoining Volynian and Podolian Uplands (Volynska and Podilska Vysochyna), and Transcarpathian Lowland (Zakarpattia) are situated. In general, the Carpathian Mountains have a fairly close contact with the Alpine and Balkan mountain systems. The Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains form the central part of the Eastern Carpathians. The borders of the Middle European, Central Russian, Carpathian and Dunarevo- Moldavian biogeographic sub-provinces cross the territory of Western Ukraine (Rivas-Martínez et al., 2004) (Fig. 1). In the western part of Ukraine the most of the genus Otiorhynchus representatives inhabit the Carpathian Mountains and 24 _____________Mun. Ent. Zool.

    Molecular Phylogenetics of the Superfamily Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) Conrad Paulus Dias Trafford Gillett A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia Norwich, Norfolk, England March 2014 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there-from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Molecular Phylogenetics of the Superfamily Curculionoidea (Insecta: Coleoptera) Conrad Paulus Dias Trafford Gillett March 2014 Thesis abstract This thesis examines higher-level evolutionary history within the superfamily Curculionoidea, the most speciose family-level taxon, which includes beetles commonly known as weevils. This is achieved using a phylogenetic approach incorporating the largest datamatrix yet employed for weevil molecular systematics, and includes an investigation into the prospect of obtaining short phylogenetically informative amplicons from archival museum specimens. Newly obtained DNA sequence data is analysed from a variety of mitochondrial and nuclear loci, including 92 mitogenomes assembled through the approach of next-generation sequencing of pooled genomic DNA. The resulting trees are used to test previous morphological- and molecular-based hypotheses of weevil relationships and classification schemes. Mitogenomic-derived trees reveal topologies that are highly congruent with previous molecular studies, but that conflict with some morphological hypotheses. Strong nodal support strengthens inferences into the relationships amongst most weevil families and suggests that the largest family, the Curculionidae, is monophyletic, if the subfamily Platypodinae is excluded.

Historically, organophosphate insecticides were used for control, but this tool is no longer registered for use in tree fruit. In addition, few organically approved insecticides are available for organic pest control and none have proven efficacy as this time. Therefore, promoting biological control in these systems is the next step, however, little is known about the biological control pathways in this system and how these are influenced by current mechanical and cultural practices required in organic systems. We used molecular gut-content analysis for testing field caught predators for feeding on plum curculio. During the study we monitored populations of plum curculio and the

Karyotypic characterization of three weevil species (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Brachyderini). Folia biol. (Kraków) 54: 13-17. Karyotypes of three species, Brachyderes incanus, Brachysomus setiger and Paophilus afflatus, belonging to the tribe Brachyderini, were studied using C-banding technique. The species share the same chromosome number 2n=22 and meioformula n=10+Xyp at all metaphase I plates of spermatid division. Some differences between karyotypes were observed in terms of centromere positions and C-band sizes. Most chromosomes are meta- or submetacentric and form a graded series in respect to length. The chromosomes resemble one another in having a rather small amount of heterochromatin restricted to the pericentromeric region and visible as dark stained blocks mainly during early stages of nuclear division. Only in Brachyderes incanus do larger bands occur at mitotic metaphase and diakinesis. These cytogenetic data are in agreement with karyological findings obtained in other species of Brachyderini so far examined. Key words: Coleoptera, Curculionidae, karyotype, C-bands.

Yunakov(1), N.N. & Korotyaev(2), B.A.: On the systematics of the weevil genus Araxia Khnzorian with descriptions of new taxa from Transcaucasia, Turkey, and Turkmenistan (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae). Insect Syst. Evol. 39: 39-54. Copenhagen, April, 2008. ISSN 1399-560X The purpose of this paper is a comparative morphological study of the little known monotyp- ic weevil genus Araxia Khnzorian, 1957 and its close allies; redescriptions and figures are pro- vided. A new systematic position for Araxia is proposed and discussed, its affinity with Chi- loneus Schoenherr, 1842 and a new genus Holcolydoprus gen. n. is demonstrated. A new genus Holcolydoprus gen. n. is described with two new species H. bimaculatus sp. n. (type species) from Turkmenistan and H. griseus sp. n. from Transcaucasia and Eastern Turkey. The genus Aomus Schoenherr, 1834 is transferred from the tribe Laparocerini to Sciaphilini, its affinity with Eusomomorphus K. Daniel, 1905 is demonstrated. A new combination Eusomo- morphus ilerii (Fremuth & Lodos, 1987), comb. n. is established for Aomus ilerii. A key to genera centering around Araxia is given.
