Liparus (Liparus) glabrirostris Küst. and Hylobius (Callirus) abietis (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) first records for Serbia

Abstract

This paper presents a survey of data on two weevil species not recorded for the fauna of Serbia till now. Despite their large size, Liparus (Liparus) glabrirostris Küster, 1849 and Hylobius (Callirus) abietis (Linnaeus, 1758) have not been recorded for Serbia in the newest Palaearctic weevil catalogue (Alonso-Zarazaga et al., 2017) or in the Fauna Europaea (Alonso-Zarazaga et al., 2013, https://fauna-eu.org/). In this paper L. glabrirostris, found in a single locality on Mt Goč, is registered as the third representative of the genus Liparus Olivier, 1807 in Serbia. Hylobius abietis is a serious, widely distributed conifer pest, but was not faunistically registered for Serbia till now. Some ecological data and distribution maps with Serbian locations are given for both species.
