Interesting records of weevils (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) in nature reserves of the northern Azov region

Nine rare and poorly-known species of weevils (Curculionoidea) were records in 2023 and 2024 in nature reserves in the south of the Donetsk People’s Republic, significantly supplementing the data on their distribution. Seven species were discovered in the fauna of Donbass for the first time while Bruchela musculа (K. Daniel & J. Daniel, 1903), Aizobius sedi (Germar, 1818), Tychius minor Karasyov & Caldara, 1992, and Ceutorhynchus nigritulus Schultze, 1897 were found new to the fauna of the northern Azov region. Both Ceutorhynchus alliariae H. Brisout, 1860, not known in other parts of Russia, and Pseudorchestes kostali (Dieckmann, 1985), reported from Donbass earlier from isolated records north of the Azov region, were missing from the latest major compendia for the region. New data on host plants were obtained for some species.
