Six species of Curculionidae Curculioninae are reported for the first time from Spain. Four of them belong to the Mecinini: Mecinus alboscutellatus (Hustache, 1913), M. ictericus (Gyllenhal, 1838), M. reichei Tournier, 1873, M. seriatus Jacquet, 1888, and two to the Tychiini: Sibinia (Dichotychius) umbrosa Desbrochers, 1907, Tychius (Tychius) africanus Franz, 1942. A brief differential diagnosis of closely related species present in Spain, with distribution and biological notes, when available, are given. M. haemorrhoidalis (H. Brisout, 1862) is confirmed for Spain.
