03C087979919FFA878D0D979FBA1BC5D.taxon	discussion	One specimen of B. cinereus was found feeding on the endemic Galanthus elwesii on the Oros Ambelos (Fig. 2), a genus which was not yet documented as a feeding plant for any Brachycerus. More than 40 species of Brachycerus are known from the Palaearctic realm, most of them in the Mediterranean region (Friedman & Sagiv 2010). The host plants and feeding plants of Brachycerus are Amaryllidaceae, Araceae, Liliaceae and interestingly also Orchidaceae (Germann 2003, 2009, Friedman & Sagiv 2010).	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C08797991BFFAA78D0DCD9FC7FBB0D.taxon	discussion	On Hesperis laciniata (Brassicaceae) three specimens of this member of the C. inaffectatus - species group were collected. Based on Colonnelli (2003) they could be assigned to C. oculatus. The feeding-plant of C. oculatus was not yet documented, and is provided here for the first time. First record for Greece.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C08797991BFFAA78D0DDF9FEAEB847.taxon	discussion	More recently Wanat & Colonnelli (2004) separated C. varius from the similar C. hirtulus Germar, 1824, which is already recorded from Greece. First record for Greece.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C08797991BFFAA78D0DE3EFF4FBE1D.taxon	discussion	Larvae and adults of D. cyrtus were found under Centaurea sp. (Asteraceae) at several localities (nos. 6, 10, 13 and 19) on the Oros Ambelos and Oros Kerkis. The larvae were successfully reared to adult stage. Winkelmann & al. (2010) already reported on the development of D. cyrtus on an undetermined Centaurea. Another examination of Pimpinella minor (Rosaceae) near Mesogio (no. 13) revealed further larvae of a Donus species. After successful breeding, the adults could also be assigned to D. cyrtus. In a feeding experiment with adults reared from Asteraceae, P. minor was also accepted, apart from the simultaneously offered Centaurea. The determination was confirmed with a male specimen of D. cyrtus from the Greek mainland (Athens, collection Apfelbeck in NMB), and a specimen from Bosnia-Herzegovina (Mostar, collection StÖcklein in NMB) used for comparison.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C08797991BFFAA78D0D8C9FF58BC77.taxon	discussion	Based on the very coarse, alveolar punctuation of the pronotum, the acute uncus on the protibiae, the long-oval, egg shaped elytra, and the shape of the aedeagus (Figs 3 A – C), the single male specimen of an Echinodera (Ruteria) could be assigned to E. montissacris described from Mount Athos (Behne 2002). It was found in a leaf litter sample from the Oros Kerkis (no. 20). E. montissacris was until now solely known from the type locality, and from records from Chalkidike (Bahr & Stüben 2007). The present find is rather isolated, but might indicate a hitherto underestimated extent of the species’ distribution.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979915FFA478D0DC14FC27BA9D.taxon	discussion	All six specimens were collected on Alkanna tinctoria, which represents a new host plant record for M. sublineellus. Up to now only the plant genus Onosma (Boraginaceae) was documented for this species (Colonnelli 2003).	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979915FFA478D0DE69FE6FB94D.taxon	discussion	A comparison with specimens from the Frey collection (NMB), and the recent contribution by Magnano (2005) to the subgenus Podenobistus Reitter, 1912 revealed, that O. bleusei reported from Rhode Island (Greece) and Turkey around Izmir (Keskin & Cevik 2007 b), near Denizli and Mugla (Lodos & al. 1978) is closest to the specimens from Samos (Fig. 4 B). However, the extent of the species’ variability is difficult to estimate; therefore the present determination remains uncertain.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979915FFA478D0D87EFCB2BEC0.taxon	discussion	Apart from normally sized specimens, apparently bigger and exclusively female specimens (Figs 4 C – D) were collected near Koumaradei (no. 12). Presumably, these represent a polyploid parthenogenetic population.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979915FFA478D0D8B4FC36BF3D.taxon	discussion	O. pelliceus was collected under the same circumstances and together with O. lilligi. Keskin & Cevik (2007 b) reported O. pelliceus from around Izmir in Turkey, not far from the present finds on Samos.

03C087979910FFA178F5D804FCCCBFAD.taxon	discussion	S. penicillus was beaten during the night from the Reichardia cf. picroides (Asteraceae) at a beach. Bayer & al. (2007) reported on finds of the similar S. jonicus (Reitter, 1899) from an undetermined Asteraceae, but also from numerous finds on Fabaceae. With Styphlus oros another species of the genus was sifted from leaf litter in two specimens in an olive orchard near Kamara (no. 16). The habitat lies within the immediate surroundings of an olive tree, where several Hieracium sp. (Asteraceae) were growing, their possible host plant. Another specimen was sifted from leaf litter under cushion plants on the Oros Kerkis.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979911FFA078D0D979FC06BF90.taxon	discussion	A member of this very rarely collected genus was found while sifting plant litter under cushion plants on limestone rocks (no. 4). Another specimen was found while beating shrubs and herbs along a roadside (no. 48). Based on the key by Pic (1906), a reliable determination at species-level was not possible (Fig. 4 A). Further investigations are needed to determine this species.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979912FFA378F5D804FF4FBF90.taxon	discussion	The high number of synonyms of A. quadrivirgata listed by Alonso-Zarazaga (2011) already points out that this species shows a considerable morphological variability. On the other hand, the various forms described do not show relevant differences concerning the shape of the apex of the penis as was shown by Giordani-Soika (1937) and Alonso-Zarazaga (1989). In the present case of the specimens from Samos, the habitus is not different from the general variability of the species (Figs 5 A), but the shape of the apex of the penis is interestingly very different (Figs 5 B – D). Only a revision of the genus Allomalia Alonso-Zarazaga, 1989 will show the significance of this trait.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).

03C087979913FFA278D0D8EEFE71BF57.taxon	discussion	No biological data is known for this species, except that specimens were collected on young Quercus trees (Skuhrovec & al. 2012). All four presently recorded specimens were collected near the sea shore on flowering Quercus coccifera with a beating tray.	en	Germann, Christoph, Müller, Gerd, Müller, Ursula, Schön, Karel (2015): An annotated checklist of the weevil fauna of Samos Island with new records for Greece (Coleoptera, Curculionoidea).
