Abstract

Data on 18 species of weevils found near the boundary between Europe and Asia beyond their known ranges are reported. A new species Sitona albicans Korotyaev sp. n. is described from Orenburg Province of Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China; it is associated with Oxytropis glabra and Glycyrrhiza spp. Six species (Bruchela medvedevi, Lixus meles, Ceutorhynchus interjectus, Boragosirocalus helenae, Oxyonyx hexarthrinus, and Pseudorchestes kostali) are recorded for the first time from Russia; ten species (Corimalia helenae, Eumecops kittaryi, Anthypurinus basicornis, Ceutorhynchus seniculus, Ceutorhynchus weisei, Sirocalodes villosipes, Platypteronyx auritus, Bradybatus kellneri, Pseudorchestes flavicornis, and Pseudorchestes tschernovi) are found for the first time in the Urals and/or the Cis-Urals, and Dorytomus rufatus is recorded for the first time from Siberia.
