“…Voss [24,25] and Zherikhin [26] described many weevils from Baltic amber in three articles [24][25][26]; later, 15 species were also described [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. In 2012, the present author began a study of the Curculionoidea in Baltic amber [2,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53] and described 48 species. Data on Curculionoidea are also given in general works devoted to amber [54][55][56][57][58], catalogs [59,60], and descriptions in scientific collections [61][62][63].…”

All 142 known species of Curculionoidea in Eocene amber are documented, including one species of Nemonychidae, 16 species of Anthribidae, six species of Belidae, 10 species of Rhynchitidae, 13 species of Brentidae, 70 species of Curcuionidae, two species of Platypodidae, and 24 species of Scolytidae. Oise amber has eight species, Baltic amber has 118 species, and Rovno amber has 16 species. Nine new genera and 18 new species are described from Baltic amber. Four new synonyms are noted: Palaeometrioxena Legalov, 2012, syn. nov. is synonymous with Archimetrioxena Voss, 1953; Paleopissodes weigangae Ulke, 1947, syn. nov. is synonymous with Electrotribus theryi Hustache, 1942; Electrotribus erectosquamata Rheinheimer, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymous with Succinostyphlus mroczkowskii Kuska, 1996; Protonaupactus Zherikhin, 1971, syn. nov. is synonymous with Paonaupactus Voss, 1953. Keys for Eocene amber Curculionoidea are given. There are the first records of Aedemonini and Camarotini, and genera Limalophus and Cenocephalus in Baltic amber.
