	abstract = {Broad bean (Vicia faba L. ssp. maior), cv. White Windsor was cultivated in three series differing with the date of soil contamination with single heavy metals (separately with cadmium, nickel, copper, lead and zinc) on the level of medium pollution according to IUNG - PIB classification. The soil was contaminated in 2002, 2003 and 2004. The analysis of injuries was con- ducted twice: at the early stage of the plant development (several leaves stage - 19.05.2004) and three weeks later (11.06.2004). It was found at the early stage that broad bean plants growing in the soil contaminated with zinc and nickel were least attracted for Sitona sp. in 2004 (last year of treatment). This tendency on treatment with nickel and copper contaminated soil was observed also in the latter period of the pest feeding.},

	abstract = {The alfalfa root weevil, Sitona discoideus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is an important pest of alfalfa. The developmental rates of the embryo development were recorded at eight constant temperatures ranging from 8.5 to 30 [degree]C. Using 10 models (1 linear and 9 nonlinear), we evaluated the relationship between constant temperature and developmental rate. Embryo development was shortest (8.5 d) and longest (69 d), at 28 and 8.5 [degree]C, respectively. The threshold temperature (To) and the thermal constant (K) were estimated using linear regression to be 4.7 [degree]C and 207.7 DD, respectively. The two most efficient nonlinear models, the Lactin and the Sharp and DeMichele, gave estimates of Tmin and Tmax of 4.4 and 3.9 and 30.0 and 30.9 [degree]C, respectively. This information has potential application in predicting the suitability and optimal time of release of an egg parasitoid of S. discoideus.},

	abstract = {The Study of 131 more or less complete Curculionoid specimens of the collection Etienne Louis Geoffroy, conserved in the Museum d{\textquoteright}Histoire Naturelle de Paris (Entomologie) has permitted the identification of several nominal species that were nomina dubia and the establishment of several new synonymies and combinations, and, in some cases, the reversion of precedence following Art. 23.9 of the Code, declaring nomina protecta and nomina oblita. New synonymies are (the first term is the valid name): Lixus filiformis (Fabricius, 1781) = Curculio longus Gmelin, 1790; Lasiorhynchites cavifrons (Gyllenhal, 1833) nom. protectum Rhinomacer viridis Geoffroy, 1785, nom. oblitum, Byctiscus betulae (Linnaeus, 1758) Rhinomacer auratus Geoffroy, 1785; Neocoenorrhinus pauxillus (Germar, 1824) nom. protectum Rhinomacer caeruleus Geoffroy, 1785, nom. oblitum; Deporaus betulae (Linnaeus, 1758) Curculio nigrostriatus Goeze, 1777 - Curculio niger Geoffroy, 1785 = Curculio fuliginosus Gmelin, 1790; Coniocleonus hollbergii (Fahraeus, 1842) = Curculio sulcatus Goeze, 1777 = Cuurculio sulcatus Geoffroy, 1785 = Curculio sulcatus Gmelin, 1790; Larinus iaceae (Fabricius, 1775) - Curculio carduelis Goeze, 1777; postica (Gyllenhal, 18 13), nom. protectum - Curculio fasciolatus Geoffroy., 1785, nom. oblitum; Charagmus griseus (Fabricius, 1775) = Curculio cupreosquamosus Goeze, 1777 = Curculio intersectus Geoffroy, 1785 = Curculio squamosus Gmelin, 1790; Sitona hispidulus (Fabricius, 1777) Curculio griseus Goeze, 1777 - Curculio modestus Geoffroy, 1785 = Curculio geoffroaei Gmelin, 1790 Aulacobaris cuprirostris (Fabricius, 1787) = Curculio viridisericeus Goeze, 1777; Cleopomiarus plantrum (Germar, 1824), nom. protectum = Curculio nigrostriatus Goeze, 1777 - Curculio floriger Geoffroy, 1785, nom. oblitum - Curculio subglobosus Gmelin, 1790, nom. oblitum; Anisorhynchus scabrousus (Geoffroy, 1785) = Curculio barbatus Rossi, 1794; Hylobius abietis (Linnaeus, 1758) - Curculio tigris Gmelin, 1790; Sitophilus granarius (Linnaeus, 1758) = Curculio contractus Geoffroy, 1785; Phyllobius pomaceus Gyllenhal, 1834 = Curculio auratus Geoffroy, 1785; Hylobius transversovittatus (Goeze, 1777) Curculio fascialis Gmelin, 1790. New combinations are: Leucophyes occidentalis (Dieckmann, 1982) (from Leucosomus) and Anisorhynchus scabrosus (Geoffroy, 1785) (from Curculio). The following names have been reinstated (stat. res.) as valid: Trachyphloeus spinosus (Goeze, 1777) for the species known as Trachyphloeus olivieri Bedel, 1883, Lixus pulverulentus (Scopoli, 1763) for the species known as Lixus angustatus (Fabricius, 1775). Hypera melancholica (Fabricius, 1793) is confirmed as the valid name for the species hitherto named Hypera fuscocinerea (Marsham, 1802) or Hypera murina (Fabricius, 1793). The following narrics are considered nomina dubia, since there is no identifiable type material: Curculio pulex Goeze, 1777, Rhinomacer minutus Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio pulex Gmelin, 1790 (non Goeze, 1777), rhinomacer striatus Geoffroy, 1785, Rhinomacer fulgidus Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio transversofasciatus Goeze, 1777, Curculio fasciatus Geoffroy, 1785 (non Scopoli, 1763, nec Strorm, 1768, nec Degeer, 1775, nec Muller, 1776), Curculio fuscatus Gmelin, 1790, Curculio sulcatus Goeze, 1777: 410 (non Fabricius, 1775, nec Goeze, 1777: 381), Curculio incisus Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio exaratus Gmelin, 1790, Curculio quadratus Goeze, 1777, Curculio quadrilis Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio griseosericeus Goeze, 1777, Curculio communis Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio thoracespinosus Goeze, 1777, Curculio armatus Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio denticulatus Gmelin, 1790 (non Schrank, 1781, nec Geoffroy, 1785), Curculio muricatus Goeze, 1777 (non Drury, 1773), Curculio murinus Geoffroy, 1785 (non Mueller, 1764), Curculio fuscipes Geoffroy, 1785, Curculio tesselatus Geoffroy, 1785 (non Fabricius, 1781), Curculio sericeus Goeze, 1777, Curculio villosus Geoffroy, 1785 (non Fabricius, 1781), Curculio sericeus Gmelin, 1790 (non Goeze, 1777, nec Schaller, 1783, nec Piller \& Mitterpacher, 1783), Curculio virgo Goeze, 1777, Curculio virgo Geoffroy, 1785 (non Goeze, 1777), Curculio virgo Gmelin, 1790 (non Goeze, 1777, nec Geoffroy, 1785), Curculio punctulatus Geoffroy, 1},
