From May, 17 th to 24 th the weevil fauna of several localities in the surrounding area of Stúrovo (southern Slovakia) was investigated. 12 sites were visited by all participants. Despite a rather good level of previous knowledge, the species lists for all sites could be improved considerably. The total number of the recorded species is 360 and includes the families Anthribidae (6 species), Apionidae (48), Attelabidae (1), Curculionidae (292), Dryophthoridae (1), Nanophyidae (4), Erirhinidae (1) and Rhynchitidae (7). There were two sites with a speciose Ceutorhynchinae and one site with a speciose Tychius fauna. Important species of the sites are highlighted, and the most important species of all searched sites are commented on separately. In many cases host plant relations were also recorded, but although there was a targeted search effort, the host plant of Hypera cumana remains unknown.
