Proposed work deals with survey of weevil subfamily Entiminae of Russia, and starts with report on species occurring in Volga and Ural Regions and up to date published records.Before completing this paper, we have established following main goals: (1) to develop convenient universal coding system of macroregions and provinces of Russia which will be subsequently employed for representation of distribution data on weevils of entire Russian fauna; (2) to examine all available Entiminae material from Volga and Ural regions, as well as up to date references; (3) to check the doubtful records.Following the biogeorgaphic eligibility, we conserve a continuum of fauna presented in the list.As result, some provinces were omitted and the boundaries of this survey became outlined by Ural Mountains: Bashkortostan, Chelyabinsk, Komi, Yekaterinburg (incl.Sverdlovsk Prov.), Orenburg, Perm; and by Middle course of Volga river basin: Chuvashia, Kirov, Mari El, Mordovia, Samara, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Ulyanovsk.(Fig. 1, Table 1).ABSTRACT: 116 species and 43 genera of Entiminae weevils are recorded in Volga and Ural regions.Checklist comprises up to date data on the distribution of Entiminae weevils of Eastern part of European Russia.Phacephorus hirtellus Faust, 1885 and Polydrusus obliquatus Faust, 1884 are first records in Russia and Europe.Trichalophus korotyaevi Zherikhin et Nazarov, 1990 is a first record of the genus Trichalophus LeConte, 1876 in recent fauna of Europe.
