Abstract: The first part of the annotated checklist summarizes the present knowledge on the distribution of the superfamily Curculionoidea except for Scolytinae and Platypodinae (below exSP) in the Czech Republic – divided into the historical lands Bohemia and Moravia, and Slovakia. It evaluates the present as well as historical occurrence of each species on these territories. In addition, bioindicator status and several other characteristics (endemicity, allochthonous species, new records for the territory) are given. In selected sections, systematic background, faunistics, historical research on the Curculionoidea families in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the species composition of the Czech and Slovak weevil faunas, its postglacial progress and a short characterisation of some selected important areas are given. These evaluations are based on specimens available in the collections of Czech and Slovak institutions as well as private collections and records from hundreds of historical publications.
The first part also contains comments on species that are interesting from faunistic, ecological or other points of view. Comments on species of the families Anthribidae, Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae, Nanophyidae, Brachyceridae, Dryophthoridae, Erirhinidae and several subfamilies of Curculionidae: Curculioninae, Bagoinae, Baridinae, Ceutorhynchinae, Conoderinae and Hyperinae are included in this part. Comments on the family Apionidae and the remaining subfamilies of Curculionidae will be presented in subsequent parts of the publication.
At present, we consider the occurrence of 817 species of the Curculionoidea (exSP) in Bohemia as reliably documented; the presence of another 51 species requires confirmation. 35 species mentioned in historical publications we exclude from the Bohemian fauna of Curculionoidea (exSP). We reliably know of 903 species of Curculionoidea (exSP) from Moravia, with another 53 species requiring confirmation and 59 previously published species excluded. Together 950 species are reliably known from the Czech Republic and the occurrence of another 42 species requires confirmation. 68 species published in the past are excluded from the list of Curculionoidea (exSP) of the Czech Republic. For Slovakia, 1036 species are reliably documented and a further 48 species require confirmation. We have excluded 76 species published in the past as a part of the Curculionoidea (exSP) fauna of Slovakia. Altogether, from the whole territory of the Czech Republic and Slovakia (former Czechoslovak Republic) there are 1091 species of Curculionoidea (exSP) reliably documented, 37 species that require additional confirmation, and 102 species from historical publications are excluded from the Curculionoidea (exSP) fauna of this territory. Our paper adds 13 species for the first time to the Curculionoidea fauna of the Czech Republic, of which 5 species were found in Bohemia: Brachysomus hispidus (L. Redtenbacher, 1849), Hexarthrum duplicatum Folwaczny, 1966, Magdalis caucasica (Tournier, 1872), Nanophyes globiformis Kiesenwetter, 864 and Otiorhynchus rugosus krattereri Boheman, 1843 and 9 species were found in Moravia: Anthribus scapularis Gebler, 1833, Donus viennensis (Herbst, 1795), Gonotropis gibbosa Le Conte, 1876, Gymnetron tibiellum Desbrochers, 1899, Lixus fasciculatus Boheman, 1836, Nanophyes globiformis Kiesenwetter, 1864, Otiorhynchus brunneus Krynicki, 1834, Sitona callosa Gyllenhal, 1834 and Tropiphorus micans Boheman, 1842. In addition 9 weevil species are new only for Bohemia: Ceutorhynchus merkli Korotyaev, 2000, Cleopomiarus micros (Germar, 1821), Curculio elephas (Gyllenhal, 1836), Donus oxalis (Herbst, 1795), Gasterocercus depressirostris (Fabricius, 1792), Ixapion variegatum (Wencker, 1864), Omphalapion buddebergi (Bedel, 1887), Omphalapion pseudodispar Wanat, 1995 and Tychius cuprifer (Panzer, 1799) and 9 weevil species are new only for Moravia: Dorytomus reussi Formánek, 1908, Isochnus angustifrons (West, 1916), Mogulones venedicus (Weise, 1879), Onyxacalles croaticus (H. Brisout, 1867), Otiorhynchus armadillo (Rossi, 1792), Pelenomus olssoni (Israelson, 1972), Sibinia variata (Gyllenhal, 1836), Trichosirocalus rufulus (Dufour, 1851 ) and Tychius sharpi Tournier, 1873. We also report 16 weevil species not previously published from Slovakia: Brachysomus fremuthi Koštál, 1991, Brachysomus tenuicollis Yunakov, 2006, Ceratapion beckeri (Desbrochers, 1875), Ceutorhynchus hutchinsiae Tempère, 1975, Ceutorhynchus fallax Boheman, 1845, Ceutorhynchus merkli Korotyaev, 2000, Lixus lateralis (Panzer, 1793), Miarus simplex Solari, 1947, Omphalapion pseudodispar Wanat, 1995, Orchestes stobieckii Smreczyński, 1957, Otiorhynchus dacicus J. Daniel et K. Daniel, 1898, Otiorhynchus respersus Stierlin, 1861, Perapion connexum (Schilsky, 1902), Pirapion redemptum (Schatzmayr, 1920), Plinthus squalidus parreyssii Boheman, 1842 and Polydrusus inustus Germar, 1824.
