Summary. Curculionid-beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) is the largest superfamily in Arthropoda with a number of important agricultural pests within the taxon. The fauna of Iranian Curculionoidea including the families Anthribidae (3 species), Rhynchitidae (15 species), Attelabidae (2 species), Brentidae (76 species), Brachyceridae (2 species), Dryophthoridae (8 species) and Curculionidae (651 species) is discussed in this paper. 757 species from 245 genera are listed with 61 new records for the fauna of Iran. Data on the distribution and host plants are given for each species.

INTRODUCTION
diversity of Curculionoidea, comparable with Lawrence’s [1982] and Watt’s [1982] respective earlier estimates of 60000 and 65000 [Oberprieler & al., 2007].
The number of described beetle species is about 400000 [Spangler, 1982; Hammond, 1992], with weevils (62000) comprising 15.5 % of this number. Curculionoidea is one of the richest groups in terms of potential for insights into the evolution of diversity and remains one of the most challenging taxonomic groups in terms of stability of classification [Marvaldi et al., 2002]. Interestingly, this is about the same proportion encountered by Linnaeus 250 years ago, when barely 100 weevil species were known. The most recent comprehensive calculation of the number of Curculionoidea [Kuschel, 1995] yielded a total of 5087 described genera and 56 920 species (status at about 1988). Adding the genera and species newly described in the last 20 years he raises these numbers to 5604 and 61868, with an increase of 10 % and 8.7 %, respectively. The recent comprehensive world catalogue of weevil genera [Alonso-Zarazaga, Lyal, 1999, 2002; Lyal, Alonso-Zarazaga, 2006] recognises 5464 valid weevil genera (status at 1999), including fossils but excluding Scolytinae and Platypodinae, which number 225 genera (5837 species) and 41 genera (1463 species), respectively, after Wood & Bright [1992] and Bright & Skidmore [1997]. Excluding fossils (about 100 genera) and including the latter two groups we have a total of 5630 genera of weevils, slightly more than the number extrapolated from Kuschel’s calculation but more accurate (though excluding genera described after 1999). A number in 5800 genera and 62000 species is therefore the best estimate of the described
The fauna of Iranian Curculionoidea is quite rich but has been very poorly studied so far. The main lists on Iranian Curculionoidea are Modarres Awal [1997] and Broumand [1998].
Iran is a large country with various landscapes (Fig. 1). It forms a large part of the Iranian plateau, and covers an area of 1,623,779 km2. It is bordered in the north by the Caucasus Mts., Middle Asian natural regions and the Caspian Sea (-27 m below sea level); in the west by the Anatolian and Mesopotamian regions; in the east by the eastern part of the Iranian plateau (Afghanistan and adjacent west Pakistan) and the Baluch-Sindian region; and finally in the south by the Persian Gulf and Oman Sea, which are connected by the latter to the Indian Ocean. The main highlands are comprised of four distinct mountainous areas: Alburz in the north (Mt. Damavand, 5628 m; Mt. Takht-e Soleyman, 4643 m); Kopet-Dagh and north Khorasan ranges in the north-east (Mt. Hezar-Masjed, 3040 m; Mt. Binaloud, 3211 m); Zagros in the west (Mt. Dena, 4409 m; Mt. Zard-Kuh, 4221 m); Jebal Barez and Baluchestan mountains in the central to southeast (Mt. Bahraseman, 3886 m; Mt. Pelvar, 4233 m; Mt. Jupar, 4135 m; Mt. Lalehzar, 4351 m; Mt. Taftan, 3941 m). In addition, the northwest Iranian mountainous area (Mt. Sabalan, 4811 m; Mt. Sahand, 3707 m) and the central Iranian mountainous area (Mt. Karkas, 3895 m; Mt. Shirkuh, 4055 m) form more or less distinct highlands in the inner part of the country.
Seven desert plains and depressions give the landscape a completely different appearance: Dasht-e Kavir in Central Iran, Dasht-e Lut desert, Sistan and Jazmurian depressions in the southeast, Khuzestan plain in the southwest, Moghan steppe in the northwest and the Turkman-Sahra steppe in the northeast. Six main watershed areas are recognized within the country, but the central and southern watersheds in particular often are divided up into 21 by different authors. More than 20 larger lakes form part of the landscape of Iran, with the largest one, the saline Urumia Lake, covering 4,868 km2 in the northwest. Climatologically, Iran is predominantly an arid and semi-arid country, but the northern slopes of the Alburz ranges and the Caspian lowland receive 800 to 2000 mm annual rainfall and are the most humid part of the country. The Dasht-e Kavir and Dasht-e Lut deserts are the driest parts with less than 150 mm annual precipitation. The highlands receive between 250 and 800 mm. From a bioclimatic point-of-view, SABETI divided the country into 14 bioclimatic types based on Emberger’s method. So far as plant geography is concerned, Iran is divided into three distinct phytogeographic regions: the Hyrcanian region in the north, the Nubo-Sindian region in the south, and the Irano-Turanian region in the rest of the country, which occupies more than two-thirds of the land surface. The Iranian vascular plant flora comprises approximately 10,000 species, with about 20% of them being endemic [Zehzad & al., 2002; Hangay & al., 2005].
In this study the families of the Curculionid-beetles are accepted according to the first author [Legalov, 2003, 2006b, 2007b, 2009]. The system used is based on the
following works [Alonso-Zarazaga, Lyal, 1999; Kuschel, 1995; Legalov, 2006b; Thompson, 1992; Zherichin, Egorov, 1991] with additions and corrections made by recent papers [Arzanov, 2005a, 2005b, 2005c, 2006a, 2006b, 2006c, 2006d; Colonnelli, 2004; Legalov, 2007b, 2009b, 2010; Velazquez de Castro & all., 2007 etc.].

DISCUSSION
This paper is mainly a result of several huge and impressive projects of the second author dealing with Iranian fauna of Curculionoidea. In addition, several specimens collected in different regions of Iran, the materials of some museums situated in other countries were adapted and used. The Iranian fauna of Curculionoidea as it was shown by our researches is very rich. Among the genera, Larinus (included 3 subgenera Larinus, Phyllonomeus, Larinomesius) with 42 species, Tychius (included 2 subgenera Lepidotychius, Tychius) with 40 species, Ceutorhynchus with 35 species, Lixus (included 8 subgenera Callistolixus, Compsolixus, Dilixellus, Epimeces, Eulixus, Lixoglyptus, Lixus, Ortholixus) with 32 species and Sitona with 21 species have the biggest diversity in Iranian fauna. The present research surely give not the complete list of Iranian Curculionoidea, since the majority of regions in this large and diverse country were not surveyed so far. We suggest co-operation to other researchers who are interested in faunistic surveys in Iran for continuing the work on this large taxon. Additionally, investigations on host plants and parasitoids of Curculionoidea are the main deficiencies in the study of this group.
