Abstract

The weevil fauna (Curculionidea, Coleoptera) of Slovenia has counted around 830 species. While sampling with light traps the beetles of the village Police near Gornja Radgona in 2004, a new species (and genus) of weevils Gasterocercus depressirostris (Fabricius 1792) for the fauna of Slovenia was found. We believe that G. depressirostris is a rare and endangered species in Slovenia, which lives in oak-hornbeam stands (Querco-Carpinetum s. lat.) only in north-eastern part of Štajerska. We suggest its inclusion in the Red list of endangered beetles of Slovenia.

V favni rilčkarjev (Curculionidea, Coleoptera) Slovenije je bilo doslej znanih okrog 830 vrst. V prispevku predstavljamo za Slovenijo novo vrsto in hkrati nov rod rilčkarja Gasterocercus depressirostris (Fabricius 1792), ki je bila ujeta leta 2004 s pomočjo svetlobnih pasti v zaselku Police pri Gornji Radgoni (severovzhodna Štajerska). Ta rilčkar je redka in ogrožena reliktna evropska vrsta, ki živi v primarnih hrastovo gabrovih gozdovih (Querco-Carpinetum s. lat.), zato predlagamo vključitev vrste v rdeči seznam ogroženih hroščev Slovenije.

Ključne besede: rilčkarji, Curculionidea, Coleoptera, Slovenia, Gasterocercus depressirostris
