| : | Amphigonic populations of the weevil specks Brachysomus echinatus (Bonsdorff, 1785) and Cathormiocerus aristatus (Gyllenhal, 1827) are presented from several localities in Slovakia. The first species has been considered exclusively parthenogenetic so far and the second one has been known in the amphigonic population only from Spain. Male of Brachysomus echinatus is described and its aedeagus is illustrated and amphigonic specimens are compared to parthenogenetic females. The origin of these amphigonic populations in the Carpathians is briefly discussed |
