... Z území střední Evropy v posledních letech navíc vyšlo hned několik taxonomických revizí týkajících se tuponosců, např. revize rodu Barypeithes Jacquelin du Val, 1854 (Fremuth 1971), Brachysomus Schoenherr, 1823(Košťál 1991a, Yunakov 2006a) nebo Bryodaemon Podlussány, 1998(Podlussány 1998. ...
... The whole subfamily in Central Europe was treated by Dieckmann (1980a); a very speciose genus Otiorhynchus Germar, 1822 is processed in the key to the identification of Polish weevils (Smreczyński 1966), which, unlike Dieckmann's work, also includes Carpathian species. From the territory of Central Europe in recent years, moreover, a number of taxonomic revisions have been published concerning the short nosed weevils, such as the revision of Barypeithes Jacquelin du Val, 1854 (Fremuth 1971), Brachysomus Schoenherr, 1823(Košťál 1991a, Yunakov 2006a) or Bryodaemon Podlussány, 1998(Podlussány 1998. ...

This paper follows the first part of the annotated checklist of weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea excepting Scolytinae and Platypodinae; ‘exSP’ below) of the Czech Republic and Slovakia, published by Benedikt et al. in 2010. The introductory chapter presents a new checklist following the current system and nomenclature of Curculionoidea (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017a), and excluding species of improbable or impossible occurrence in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The main chapters of the paper include comments on species of the subfamily Brentidae: Apioninae and several subfamilies of Curculionidae: Cossoninae, Entiminae, Lixinae, Mesoptiliinae and Molytinae, that are interesting from faunistic, ecological or other points of view. Besides supplementary comments, faunistic revision of some species included in the first part of the annotated checklist are presented. At present, we recognise the reliably documented occurrence of 846 species of Curculionoidea (exSP) in Bohemia and 931 species in Moravia. In total, 970 species are reliably known from the Czech Republic. For Slovakia, 1056 species are reliably documented and in total, from the whole territory of the Czech Republic and Slovakia (former Czechoslovakia) there are presently 1109 reliably documented species of Curculionoidea (exSP).
The paper also brings some faunistical changes: the recent occurrence of Nanophyes globiformis Kiesenwetter, 1864 is confirmed for Bohemia and Phyllobius xanthocnemus Kiesenwetter, 1852 is reported as a new species for Bohemia. The occurrence of Mecinus heydenii Wencker, 1866 and the recent occurrence of Bruchela conformis (Gyllenhal, 1833) are confirmed in Moravia and Dieckmaniellus gracilis (L. Redtenbacher, 1847) is reliably documented for the territory of the Czech Republic.
... There are no clear morphological distinctions between Brachysomus and several other leaf litter and grass-dwelling Entiminae in the Palaearctic Region. This resulted in controversial hypotheses on the position of Brachysomus within Entiminae, either as belonging to Brachyderini (Lacordaire 1863;Reitter 1912;Emden 1936;Solari 1948) or to Sciaphilini (Alonso-Zarazaga & Lyal 1999;Yunakov 2006;Yunakov & Nadein 2006). ...
... In coastal mountains around Boka Katorska Bay (Montenegro), B. hirtus is sympatric with two bisexual species belonging to the same group (B. mucronatus Yunakov, 2006 andB. subtilis Yunakov, 2006). ...
... In my opinion, these specimens should be identified as a separate species, differing distinctly from B. oertzeni. Because my conception of these species differs from that by M. Košťál Yunakov, 2006Figs. 133, 149, 205, 239B Brachysomus boroveci Yunakov, 2006. ...
The genus Brachysomus Schoenherr, 1823 is reviewed. A comparative morphological study of adults from 56 Brachysomus species is provided. Redescriptions, diagnoses and identification keys are given. Descriptions of two new species are provided: B. (s. str.) podlussanyi sp. n. from Greece and B. (s. str.) pseudosetiger sp. n. from Bulgaria, which appear to be closely related to B. (s. str.) mihoki Penecke, 1914. Females of B. (s. str.) longipterus Białooki, 2007 are described. The
poorly known B. (Hippomias) moczarskii Penecke, 1924 is restored from synonymy with B. (H.) oertzeni Faust, 1889.
New synonyms: B. (s. str.) echinatus (Bonsdorff, 1785) = B. (s. str.) hirsutus Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1958 syn. n. New combinations: Brachysomus (s. str.) lituratus (Reitter, 1884) comb. n. from Foucartia Jacquelin du Val, 1854; Eurosphalmus tenuicollis (Yunakov, 2006) comb. n. from Brachysomus, Eurosphalmus cribrarius (Białooki, 2007) comb. n. from Brachysomus, Nanomias skodai (Białooki, 2007) comb. n. from Brachysomus, and Chiloneus bonnairei (Hoffmann, 1942) comb. n. from Brachysomus. Lectotypes are designated for: Strophosomus hirtus Boheman, 1845; Brachysomus ornatus Stierlin, 1892; B. bensae Stierlin, 1893; Platytarsus fasciatus Stierlin, 1899; and P. setiger Gyllenhal, 1840. For each species, all known localities are presented on a distribution map. Ecological preferences of Brachysomus species are specified. First records of Brachysomus (s. str.) fremuthi Košťál, 1991 from Romania, B. (Hippomias) carpathicus Košťál, 1992 from Serbia, and B. (H.) ponticus Apfelbeck, 1898 from Greece are given.
... [199] The division of Brachysomus to two subgenera in the shape proposed by Yunakov (2006) and thereafter maintained in CPC8 (Borovec 2013) and CCPCC, is problematic in the opinion of MW. It has not been supported by any attempt of phylogenetic analysis based on morphological characters of the narrower spe cies groups in this uniform genus. ...
A complete and updated list of 1,066 species and subspecies of the superfamily Curculionoidea recorded from Poland until the end of 2017 is provided, including over 290 comments on all taxonomic, nomenclatural and faunistic changes made since the first edition of the checklist published in 2005. An additional 37 species in the list are considered as erroneously recorded and excluded from the fauna of Poland. An update of the index of genera and subgenera, together with their type species, is provided separately. The following two new synonyms are recognised: Bruchela rufipes nigritarsis (Reitter, 1916) = B. rufipes rufipes (Olivier, 1790) (Anthribidae: Urodontinae), Otiorhynchus proximus iteratus Magnano, 2001 = O. proximus proximus Stierlin, 1861 (Curculionidae: Entiminae). Six species are resurrected from synonymy with the species given in parentheses: Squamapion serpyllicola (Wencker) (S. minutissimum (Rosenhauer)), Polydrusus thalassinus Gyllenhal (P. formosus (Mayer)), Phyllobius vespertinus (Fabricius) (Ph. pyri (L.)), Microplontus melanostigma (Marsham) (M. rugulosus (Herbst)), Otiorhynchus smreczynskii Cmoluch (O. rotundus Marseul), Romualdius angustisetulus (Hansen) (R. scaber (Linnaeus)). Phyllobius fessus Boheman is replaced in the list with Ph. jacobsoni Smirnov due to the former misidentification of Polish specimens. Brachysomus strawinskii Cmoluch is transferred from subgenus Hippomias to Brachysomus s. str. Eleven new weevil species have been discovered in Poland since 2005, including the still unpublished records of Pachycerus madidus (Olivier). The occurrence in Poland of four species, having hitherto only uncertain old records, has been confirmed with recent findings. The number of dubious species in Poland increased to 27 after the inflow of uncertain data in the literature and probable cases of extinction.
... Gültekin & Podlussany (2012) reported 2 new species records of the family Curculionidae for the Macedonian fauna. Yunakov (2005Yunakov ( , 2006 described 2 new species for science from the genera Amicromias and Brachysomus. Marković (2013) published records for 28 species of Scolytinae from Macedo-nia (all of these species were already published by Karaman, Z. 1971). ...
The assessment of the diversity of invertebrates in Macedonia was based on previous assess-ments and analyses of new published data in the period 2003-2013 (after the first country study on biodiversity). The total number of species was estimated at almost 13400 that represents an increase of more than 3700 species. The largest number of species is in the phyllum Arthropoda (over 11800 species) i.e. the class Insecta with more than 10000 species.
In this 10-years period (2003-2013) 64 new invertebrate species have been described for science with its locus typicus in Macedonia or at least part of the type series originates from Macedonia.
The highest number of endemic and relict species can be found in the lakes of Ohrid and Prespa as well as the mountainous areas, especially in western Macedonia. Although less known, endogean habitats in Macedonia (including caves) hold significant diversity of species.
This paper also deals with the conservation of invertebrates. According to the national legislation there are 35 invertebrates listed as strictly protected and 513 species as protected, however the criteria for selection are vague and taxonomic status of many of these species is doubtful. This situation might be overcome by elaboration of national red list assessment. So far, only daily butterflies were subject to an attempt for assessment according to the IUCN red list criteria. Furthermore, eight Prime Butterfly Areas were designated in Macedonia on the basis of five target species.
The information on allochtonous and invasive species of invertebrates in Macedonia is very scarce. The presented list includes about 50 species.

... The genus Brachysomus Schönherr, 1823 comprises at present 55 described species. During the last 20 years the number of species has risen significantly with 36 recently described species (Benedikt 2001(Benedikt , 2009Bia»ooki 2007;Košťál 1991aKošťál , 1991bKošťál , 1992Wanat & Mazur 2005;Yunakov 1999Yunakov , 2006). Due to comprehensive exploration of leaf litter weevils using Winkler/Moczarski and Berlese funnels and Winkler sifters (Holdhaus 1910) in hot spots of Brachysomus diversity in the Balkans, Crimea, Caucasus, and Asia Minor, the number of species will certainly continue to rise. ...

Ten species are known from Greece, and eight of them belong to the subgenus Hippomias Yunakov, 2006. ...
... 17, 19). The new species is also very similar to B. curvimanus Yunakov, 2006 andB. armatus Yunakov, 2006 in the structure of the epifrons. ...
Brachysomus (Hippomias) samos sp. n. is described from the Oros Ambelos mountains on Samos Island (Greece). The hygrophilous and detritivorous new species is endemic to a very restricted area. Brachysomus samos is close to B. pelex Yunakov, 2006, B. moczarskii Penecke, 1924 and B. armatus Yunakov, 2006 based on characteristics of the median lobe of the aedeagus, and on the conspicuously long apodemes. Brachysomus samos furthermore strongly resembles B. armatus and B. curvimanus Yunakov, 2006 in the characteristic shape of the head capsule and epifrons.
... The availability of numerous new localities and the improved mobility of present-day collectors in combination with a more frequent use of sifting and other less popular collec-ting methods in previous years, has resulted in an abundance of new material containing lesser known weevil groups including the short nosed terricolous genera and tribes. The genus Brachysomus Schoenherr, 1823 is a good example, as the number of species within the genus has increased from ca. 35 to 60 during the last five years (BIAŁOOKI 2007, YUNAKOV 2006, WANAT & MAZUR 2005. The newly collected material contains an abudnace of new taxa not only at the specific, but also at the generic level. ...
A new monotypic genus, Yunakovius gen. nov., is described, based on Y. orientalis sp. nov.from China, Mongolia and Siberia. The genus Omoiotus Sharp, 1896 is recognized as a junior synonym of Asphalmus Sharp, 1896, which currently contains three species: Asphalmus japonicus Sharp, 1896, A. ovatus (Sharp, 1896), comb. nov., and A. sharpi sp. nov. (China). A lectotype is designated for Omoiotus ovatus Sharp, 1896. A key to Asphalmus species is given, the three species included are redescribed and illustrated, including male and female genitalia.
