| Abstract | In the present paper the results of research on weevil fauna (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea) were presented. The research was conducted in the years 1995–1997 on three cultures of Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum) situated in the Lublin Voivodship. 52 weevil species were gathered, distinguished out of a set of 2,432 individuals. Two species: Apion virens and Sitona sulcifrons were the most numerously caught, and mainly they shaped the numerical dynamics of weevils. After an ecological analysis it was found that in the cultures investigated meadow elements dominated, oligophages living on various species of papilionaceous plants. In case of their mass-occurrence they can cause damage to the growth of the green matter, also of Persian clover. Palearctic forms were the most numerously represented among the zoogeographic elements distinguished, both as regards quality and quantity. The Holarctic and Eurosiberian elements were characterised by a high number of species too. |
