The pupae of thirteen of them (except ) were also described.

Developmental Biology and Identification of a Garden Pest, () Cmoluch, 1968 (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Entiminae), with Comments on Its Origin and Distribution.

The mature larva and pupa of are described and illustrated with complete chaetotaxy for the first time. Five larval instars and the factors for larval growth are determined, and the larval development of this species is comprehensively described. In order to confirm species affiliation, selected larvae were subjected to genetic analysis (mtCOI).

Description of immature stages of species (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Curculioninae), with particular emphasis on the diagnostic morphological characters at the generic and specific levels.

The immature stages of the following five Palaearctic species are described for the first time: Desbrochers des Loges, 1900, (Germar, 1821), Gyllenhal, 1838, (Germar, 1821), and Gyllenhal, 1838. These species belong to four different groups previously established according to a phylogenetic analysis: the first two belong to the group and the other three to groups respectively bearing their name (, , and groups). All these species exhibit several diagnostic characters distinguishing them from each other.

Two new species of the weevil genus Rhamphus from Italy are herein described: R. bavierai n. sp.

Symptomatology, (Co)occurrence and Differential Diagnostic PCR Identification of ' Phytoplasma solani' and ' Phytoplasma convolvuli' in Field Bindweed.

Field bindweed () is one of the major natural plant hosts and reservoirs of ' Phytoplasma solani' (' P. solani'), the causal agent of plant diseases in diverse agricultural crops, including Bois noir (BN) disease of grapevine. Phylogenetically, the most closely related phytoplasma to ' P.
