	abstract = {A report of a study trip into several geographical regions of the Western Carpathians which has been undertaken by participants of the 3rd International Conference of the CURCULIO Institute in Poland (Krakow and Ochotnica Gorna) in August 2004 is given. In the course of this journey 2050 specimens of weevils have been collected. They represent 214 species of the superfamily Curculionoidea (Anthribidae, Rhynchitidae, Attelabidae, Apionidae, Nanophyidae, Erirhinidae, and Curculionidae). Ranunculiphilus pseudinclemens is a new record for Poland and the Tatra Mountains, and several new weevil species for the faunas of particular regions were also found; Gorce Mountains - 16 new records, Pieniny Spiskie - 8, Pieniny Centralne - 8, and the Male Pieniny Mountains - 5 "new" species. Choragus sheppardi, Ceratapion austriacum, Oxystoma opeticum, Protapion gracilipes, Cionus ganglbaueri, Dorytomus filirostris, Ellescus scanicus, Rhynchaenus rufus, Trachystyphlus beigerae, Ceutorhynchus dubius, Ceutorhynchus lukesi, Mogulones angulicollis, Neophytobius granatus, Kyklioacalles suturatus, Graptus kaufmanni (= Alophus kaufmanni), Dodecastichus pulverulentus, Limobius borealis, Donus tesselatus, Limobius borealis, Lixus albomarginatus and Larinus sturnus are very rare weevil species in the Polish Carpathians, and many other species are rare in this area. Localities, circumstances, methods, biotopes and some characteristic plants are presented. Finally the remarkable species of the studied regions and the Western Carpathians are discussed.},

	abstract = {A couple of different members of the coleopteran genus Otiorhynchus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) are becoming increasingly important as pests of nursery and ornamental plants in global horticulture. Although adult weevils are morphologically distinguishable by skilled personnel, high potential for misidentification is given for cryptic larval stages. For developing and applying efficient pest management strategies the determination of the respective species is however a prerequisite, because each species may have a different phenology or a varying susceptibility to pesticides. Here, we report on the development of a diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method for differentiation among 16 Otiorhynchus and seven other weevil species independent of their developmental stage. An [approximately]780-bp fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit II was amplified and subsequently digested with at most four restriction enzymes generating species-specific fragment patterns. The assay was validated on a total of 127 individuals and the obtained fragment patterns correctly identified 23 different weevil species. The PCR-RFLP method reported here is cost-effective, robust, and fast and could be used in the future by plant protection services for diagnostic purposes.},

	abstract = {Eubrychius velutus (Beck, 1817) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Ceutorhynchinae, Phytobiini) is an aquatic weevil distributed throughout Europe and Asia. It is closely related to Euhrychiopsis lecontei (Dietz, 1896), which is native to North America and is a potential biological control agent of Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.). Both weevils are watermilfoil (Myriophyllum) specialists and complete all life stages submersed on the plants. We describe and illustrate the life history of Eubrychius velutus and compare it to Euhrychiopsis lecontei. Both species have very similar life histories and developmental performance. However, Eubrychius velutus develops in the meristem and outer portions of the plant and pupates in a cocoon on the top 5 cm of the plant, whereas Euhrychiopsis lecontei larvae mine the stems and also pupate there. Developmental rates and survival of Eubrychius velutus were very similar to developmental rates of Euhrychiopsis lecontei. At 23 [degree]C, eggs hatched in three days, larval and pupal development each lasted about 10 days and total development from egg to adult was completed in 23 days.},
