Legalov 1,2 1 Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, Ulitsa Frunze, 11, 630091 Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk Oblast, Russia; [email protected]; Tel.: +7-9139471413 2 Biological Institute, Tomsk State University, Lenin Ave, 36, 634050 Tomsk, Tomsk Oblast, Russia Received: 23 June 2020; Accepted: 4 September 2020; Published: 6 September 2020 Abstract: Currently, some 564 species of Curculionoidea from nine families (Nemonychidae—4, Anthribidae—33, Ithyceridae—3, Belidae—9, Rhynchitidae—41, Attelabidae—3, Brentidae—47, Curculionidae—384, Platypodidae—2, Scolytidae—37) are known from the Paleogene. Twenty-seven species are found in the Paleocene, 442 in the Eocene and 94 in the Oligocene. The greatest diversity of Curculionoidea is described from the Eocene of Europe and North America. The richest faunas are known from Eocene localities, Florissant (177 species), Baltic amber (124 species) and Green River formation (75 species). The family Curculionidae dominates in all Paleogene localities. Weevil species associated with herbaceous vegetation are present in most localities since the middle Paleocene. A list of Curculionoidea species and their distribution by location is presented. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; faunal structure; Paleocene; Eocene; Oligocene 1. Introduction Research into the biodiversity of the past is very important for understanding the development of life on our planet. Insects are one of the Main components of both extinct and recent ecosystems. Coleoptera occupied a special place in the terrestrial animal biotas of the Mesozoic and Cenozoics, as they are characterized by not only great diversity but also by their ecological specialization.

Oise amber has eight species, Baltic amber has 118 species, and Rovno amber has 16 species. Nine new genera and 18 new species are described from Baltic amber. Four new synonyms are noted: Palaeometrioxena Legalov, 2012, syn. nov. is synonymous with Archimetrioxena Voss, 1953; Paleopissodes weigangae Ulke, 1947, syn. nov. is synonymous with Electrotribus theryi Hustache, 1942; Electrotribus erectosquamata Rheinheimer, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymous with Succinostyphlus mroczkowskii Kuska, 1996; Protonaupactus Zherikhin, 1971, syn. nov. is synonymous with Paonaupactus Voss, 1953. Keys for Eocene amber Curculionoidea are given. There are the first records of Aedemonini and Camarotini, and genera Limalophus and Cenocephalus in Baltic amber. Keywords: Coleoptera; Curculionoidea; fossil weevil; new taxa; keys; Palaeogene 1. Introduction The Curculionoidea are one of the largest and most diverse groups of beetles, including more than 62,000 species [1] comprising 11 families [2,3]. They have a complex morphological structure [2–7], ecological confinement, and diverse trophic links [1], which makes them a convenient group for characterizing modern and fossil biocenoses.

  • Entomologi Och Naturalhistoria 2009
    Entomologi och naturalhistoria 2009 Följande lista över entomologiska böcker och tryck omfattar en rad olika ämnesområden och inkluderar många olika insektsgrupper. Vissa insektsgrupper har fått egna rubriker. Dessa grupper kan även finnas behandlade under andra avdelningar, varför det kan löna sig att leta också under dessa. I den här katalogen har jag särskilt velat lyfta fram några klassiska insektsverk som haft stor betydelse för entomologins utveckling i dess olika former. Jag begagnar även tillfället att slå ett slag för den i boksamlarkretsar välkände entomologen och Linné-kännaren Felix Bryk, som trots en verksamhet som rörde sig över vida fält alltid behöll bibliophilens känsla för det estetiskt tilltalande, något som löper som en röd tråd genom hans produktion. Han presenteras i en särskilt avdelning och med en kort biografi. Trycken är kompletta och i gott antikvariskt skick, skurna och häftade i 8:o, samt bär pappomslag om ej annat anges.

Twenty-three species documented from the parkway are first records for the state. Of the nine capture methods used during the survey, Malaise traps were the most successful. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures. Sixteen species adventive to North America are documented from the parkway, including three species documented for the first time in the state. Range extensions are documented for two species. Images of five species new to Virginia are provided. Keywords: beetles, biodiversity, Malaise traps, national parks, new state records, Potomac Gorge. INTRODUCTION This study provides a preliminary list of the weevils of the superfamily Curculionoidea within the George Washington Memorial Parkway (GWMP) national park site in northern Virginia.

  • Synopsis of the Genera of Hawaiian Cossoninae with Notes on Their Origin and Distribution (Coleoptera, Curculionidae)
    OCCASIONAL PAPERS OF BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM HONOLULU, HAWAII Volume XV May 20,1940 Number 25 ..._-_._ .. -._--------- Synopsis of the Genera of Hawaiian Cossoninae with Notes on Their Origin and Distribution (Coleoptera, Curculionidae) By ELWOOD C. ZIMMERMAN ENTOMOLOGIST, BERNICE P. BISHOP MUSEUM INTRODUCTION The principal purposes of this paper are to present a key for the identification of the genera of Cossoninae found in Hawaii and briefly to discuss each genus in the light of its endemicity, deriva­ tion, and distribution. The supraspecific classification of the Cossoninae is chaotic. A complete revision of the subfamily is greatly needed. The genera must be evaluated and redefined; many need to be united and numerous new genera must be erected. Such a revision can be done only hy an experienced monographer working probably at the British Museum, where, I have been told, most of the genera and more than 80 percent of the species are represented. I hope that such a revision soon will come from Sir Guy Marshall. The Cossoninae reach their peak of development in the Indo­ Pacific regions; but it is in those vitally important areas that we know, comparatively speaking, the least about the group. The in­ sular regions of the world support many times the number of species on the continents, and the subfamily has come to be looked upon as one of the most successful colonizers of islands. In Polynesia, especially, the Cossoninae form one of the major components of the terrestrial faunas. In Hawaii there are only three subfamilies of Curculionidae which have developed endemic species in the islands: Otiorrhynchinae, 272 Bernice P.
