New Weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Rovno Amber

First record of Leptoomus janzeni Gibson (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) from Rovno amber

“…Nearly all studied Rovno amber inclusions from Rovno Region were collected from Klesov and the Horyn River Basin (Perkovsky et al 2010;Perkovsky 2017) except new collections from the more western basins of the Styr and Stokhod rivers and especially the Veselukha River floodplain between them (Lyubarsky and Perkovsky 2020). These new collections (mostly from Voronki and Velyki Telkovichi) revealed a number of new species of beetles, neuropterans and snakeflies (Jałoszyński and Perkovsky 2019;Legalov et al 2019;Colombo et al 2020;Makarkin 2019, 2020;Makarkin and Perkovsky 2020;Lyubarsky and Perkovsky 2020;Radchenko and Khomich 2020; as well as new mosses and liverworts (Mamontov et al 2020 and references therein), including the first named amber Sphagnum from Velyki Telkovichi and some species previously recorded from Baltic amber (Perkovsky and Olmi 2018;Martynova et al 2019;Mamontov et al 2020) or from Baltic and Bitterfeld ambers Perkovsky 2018, 2020).…”

The first record of Brentidae (Coleoptera) in Eocene Rovno amber with description of a new fossil species of <i>Toxorhynchus</i> Scudder, 1893

“…The most ancient Apioninae were described from the Turonian of Kazakhstan (Kzyl- Dzhar) (Legalov, 2014). Representatives of this subfamily are also known from the Paleocene of the south of the Russian Far East and France (Legalov et al, 2017), Eocene Oise amber (Kirejtshuk et al, 2015) and Baltic amber Legalov and Bukejs, 2015), Middle Eocene of Roan Mountain (Scudder, 1893) and Green River (Legalov, 2018b), Upper Eocene of Florissant (Scudder, 1893, Legalov, 2013, etc. The richest apionine fauna is described from the lower Miocene Dominican amber (Poinar Jr. and Legalov, 2015).…”

First record of the tribe Naupactini (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Rovno amber

“…Seven weevil species from the subfamilies Dryophthorinae, Cossoninae, Curculioninae and Entiminae are known from Rovno amber so far Perkovsky, 2009, 2016;Nazarenko et al, 2011;Legalov et al, 2019b). Two species of the entimine weevils in the genus Paonaupactus Voss, 1953 of the tribe Anypotactini will be described soon (Legalov et al, 2019b).…”
