The first part of the annotated checklist summarizes the present knowledge on the distribution of the superfamily Curculionoidea except for Scolytinae and Platypodinae (below exSP) in the Czech Republic - divided into the historical lands Bohemia and Moravia, and Slovakia. It evaluates the present as well as historical occurrence of each species on these territories. In addition, bioindicator status and several other characteristics (endemicity, allochthonous species, new records for the territory) are given. In selected sections, systematic background, faunistics, historical research on the Curculionoidea families in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and the species composition of the Czech and Slovak weevil faunas, its postglacial progress and a short characterisation of some selected important areas are given. These evaluations are based on specimens available in the collections of Czech and Slovak institutions as well as private collections and records from hundreds of historical publications.
