Species composition and geographic distribution of Fuegian Curculionidae (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
The objective of this paper is to provide an integrative approach to taxonomic composition and distributional information on the weevil fauna (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) of the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. A total of 39 species belonging to 17 Curculionidae genera are recorded for the archipelago....
