Abstract

Exeristes roborator (F.) and Xylophrurus ?nigricornis (Thomson) are for the first time recorded from Northeastern Turkey. E. roborator was reared from five species of the weevil genera Larinus Dej. and Rhinocyllus Germ, developing in flowerheads of Asterceae, and one species of the genus Lixus F., developing in the stem of Polygonacaeae. The single specimen of X. ?nigricornis emerged from the larva of Lixus ochraceus Boh. developing in the stem of a crucifer. All weevils belong to the weevil subfamily Lixinae (=Cleoninae) (Coleoptera, Curculionidae).
