On the appearance of new weevils of the family Apionidae (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) in Primorskii Territory

Abstract

Data on three species of Apionidae that had appeared in Primorskii Territory (the southern Russian Far East) in the recent decade are given—Stenopterapion meliloti (Kby.), Stenopterapion tenue (Kby.), and Pseudopiezotrachelus collare (Schils.). All the species are known as pests of legume forage grasses (the former two, in the Western Palaearctic) and grain legumes (= pulses) in subtropical and tropical Asia and Australia (Pseudopiezotrachelus collare).
