There are 54 weevils species listed: 10 from family Apionidae, 3 Nanophyidae, 4 Erirhinidae, 1 Dryophthoridae and 36 Curculionidae. Among them 45 species are new for weevil-fauna of SNR Zasavica. Particularly interesting are 15 new hygrophilous species: Nanophyes brevis, N. globiformis, N. marmoratus, Notaris scirpi, Thryogenes scirrhosus, Stenopelmus rufinasus, Tanysphyrus (Tanysphyrus) lemnae, Bagous nodulosus, Limnobaris dolorosa, Thamiocolus viduatus, Pelenomus commari, P. quadricorniger, P. waltoni, Rhinoncus bruchoides and R. perpendicularis. In this material there are five species registered for the first time for the territory of Serbia - Stenopelmus rufinasus, Ceutorhynchus picitarsis, Pelenomus quadricorniger (=quadricornis), Rhinoncus bruchoides (Hbst.) and Hylobius (Callirus) transversovittatus (Goeze).
