Leaf-litter inhabitant weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in a small forest refuge fragment among hazelnut orchards at Trabzon

The leaf-litter weevil diversity in a natural forest refuge fragments among in hazelnut orchards is investigated at eastern Black Sea Region. Ten weevil species Curculio nucum (Linnaeus, 1758), Curculio glandium Marsham, 1802, Acalles caucasicus Reitter, 1891, Anoplus roboris (Suffrian, 1840), Anchonidium caucasicum (Motschulsky, 1845), Plinthus osellai Meregalli, 1985, Ceutorhynchus picitarsis Gyllenhal, 1837, Coeliodes transversealbofasciatus (Goeze, 1777), Pseudomyllocerus schneideri (Schilsky, 1911) and Trachodes hystrix Gyllenhal, 1836 are found by litter reducer. Of these, Trachodes hystrix is new record for the fauna of Turkey.
