En urskogsrelikt som blev vanlig och kom till Sverige: Gasterocercus depressirostris (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) en ny vivel för landet

Abstract

The first record of the weevil (Curculionidae) Gasterocercus depressitrostris (Fabricius
1792) from Sweden is reported. It was found in a Lindgren funnel trap at the harbour of
Mönsterås (Småland, SE Sweden) between 13 and 30 June 2023. The species live on oakwood
and was formerly regarded as a relict of ancient forests, but has recently become much
more common. It is distributed in continental Europe. The record in Sweden is therefore
supposed to come with import of oak-wood.
