Pseudorchestes tschernovi sp. n. from the Lower Volga River basin, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan differs from all known congeners, except for P. convexus sp. n. from Transaltai Gobi (Mongolia), in the strongly reduced wings that are only half as long as the elytra, and from the latter species, in the longer rostrum, paler antennae and legs, broad and apically excised scales on the elytra, and short, ovate antennal club in both sexes lacking dense velvety pubescence in male.},

	pages = {58-70},
	abstract = {In 2003-2004, 102 species of five weevil families were found in the steppe and desert associations of the Caspian semidesert (Dzhanybek Station). Representatives of Curculionidae predominated. The majority of the commonest weevil species were most abundant (20) in the steppe associations, only 6 species were found in the steppe ones. The composition of the weevil community sharply changes during spring and summer. The greatest species richness (86 species) is observed in spring. Most of the species dominating in the herbage, both in the steppe and desert communities, are steppe polyphagous broad-nosed weevils with the daytime activity (Euidosomus acuminatus, Omias verruca, O. rotundatus, Phyllobius brevis); their majority are ephemeral species with short adult life. The soil surface layer is dominated by Temnorhinus strabus, Humeromima nitida, Mesagroicus poriventris, Archaeophloeus inermis, and Trachyphloeus amplithorax. In summer, 53 species of weevils are recorded; their numbers on the soil surface sharply drop, all abundant species being restricted to the herbage layer. Ecological characteristics of the steppe and desert weevil assemblages considerably change, and distinctions between these two types of assemblages increase. The correspondence between the characteristics of the vegetation and the dominant species composition is most evident in summer. Weevils feeding on intensely vegetating Medicago romanica (Stenopterapion tenue, Sitona spp., and Tychius spp.) achieve high densities in the steppe herbage; the core of the desert assemblages is formed by species associated with dominating chenopods (Metadonus anceps) and wormwoods (Ptochus porcellus) characterized by late and prolonged vegetation period.},

	abstract = {In desert and steppe habitats of complex northern Caspian semi-desert, more than twofold differences in the number of species of the superfamily Curculionoidea dwelling in herbage (33 and 75 species, respectively) were found in the years of the "dry" (1972-1974) and "humid" (2003-2005) phases of climate change. The population numbers have changed in the majority of the species. Polyphagous steppe weevils of the subfamily Entiminae (Otiorhynchus velutinus, Euidosomus acuminatus, Omias verruca, O. rotundatus) with spring activity of adults have retained their positions in the community least varied. These species were the main dominants of the spring communities both in the 1970s and 2000s. Nearly all of the weevils that changed their numbers since the 1970s belong to specialized herbivores with the maximum adult activity in summer. In the more humid 2000s, the abundance of some desert-steppe weevils dominating the desert communities (Phacephorus nebulosus, Metadonus anceps and, particularly, Ptochus porcellus) dropped drastically. The largest part of the weevils that increased their numbers most strongly (Phyllobius brevis, Trachyphloeus amplithorax, Archaeophloeus inermis, Stenopterapion tenue, Sitona mops, S. longulus, Tychius spp.) are associated with Medicago romanica, the plant that considerably raised its population density in the microdepressions during the "humid" phase. The data show an evident reduction of the most xerophilic (desert-steppe) components of the weevil fauna and an increase of the proportion of mesophilic species. These changes seem to show a cyclic pattern.},
