Four new weevil species in the fauna of Hungary (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

“…Since 2010, several species of Curculionidae were found as new to Hungary (see e.g. Podlussány et al 2014, Szénási 2014, 2016. Th e present paper adds four further species to the last published checklist of Hungarian Curculionoidea (Pod lussány 1996), which is being updated and will probably be published in 2018.…”
