New distributional data of 35 rare weevil species from the families Anthribidae, Brentidae and Curculionidae from Poland are presented and discussed. The records marked with asterisk are new for the respective regions of Poland, delimited accordingly to division adopted for the Katalog Fauny Polski. Six species were collected for the project KIK/25 “Protection of species diversity of valuable natural habitats on agricultural lands on Natura 2000 areas in the Lublin Voivodeship” supported by a grant from Switzerland through the Swiss Contribution to the enlarged European Union. About one-third of new records concern the species either considered adventive in Europe or in natural way expanding northward their European ranges apparently in response to current climate warming. Among presented new data noteworthy are in particular the new records of Otiorhynchus crataegi (GERMAR), O. pseudonothus APFELBECK, O. reichei STIERLIN, Gymnetron rotundicolle G YLLENHAL, all hitherto known in Poland from single localities. Populations of four species, i.e. Anthribus fasciatus FORSTER , Sciaphobus ningnidus (G ERMAR ), Bagous argillaceus G YLLENHAL, Rhyncolus reflexus BOHEMAN, and Glocianus maculaalba (HERBST) were detected in Silesia (Lower Silesia or Eastern Sudetes) for the first time since historical German records 100-150 years ago. The new disparate records of Dieckmanniellus chevrieri (BOHEMAN) confirm massive expansion of this weevil over Poland since its discovery in the Bieszczady foothills (W ANAT & BOROWSKI 2013), followed by three subsequent findings in south-eastern peripherals of Poland (WANAT et al. 2016b). In addition to the new distributional records of Otiorhynchus armadillo (ROSSI) and O. pseudonothus APF. the accurate illustrations of endophallic transfer apparatus are presented, since this structure provide one of few unambiguous characters to diagnose these species. The examples of significant individual variation in the shape of spermatheca in both species are also illustrated.
