Fauna of Curculionoidea of the Khopersky State Nature Reserve (Russia)

For the first time, a detailed inventory and zoogeographical characterization of the Curculionoidea fauna of the Khopersky State Nature Reserve have been conducted, along with an analysis of the landscape and habitat distribution of weevils. In total, 361 species of Curculionoidea belonging to 5 families have been recorded within the reserve. Of these, 169 species are reported from the Khopersky Reserve for the first time, and 76 of them are new to the fauna of the Voronezh Region, including several rare species. The main features of the zoogeographical structure of the fauna are a very high proportion of species belonging to the Western Palaearctic arealogical complex (100 species, almost 28%), as well as considerable species richness of the nemoral (66 species), Mediterranean (64 species), and, to a lesser extent, Scythian (steppe) (59 species) faunal complexes, with a minor participation of weevils of Kazakh–Turanian origin (9 species).
