We recorded 83 species and subspecies from 49 genera, 12 subfamilies and 4 families of Curculionoidea in the Colibiţa area (table 1). 9 species or subspecies are rare: Rutidosoma (Scleropteridius) monticola (Otto), Otiorhynchus (Magnanotius) equestris (Rich.), O. (Magnanotius) schaumi Stierl., O. (Prilisvanus) rugosus krattereri Boh., Onyxacalles pyrenaeus Boh., Tychius sharpi Tourn., Stomodes gyrasicollis Boh., Adexius scrobipennis Gyll., Plinthus (s. str.) illigeri Germ.; 6 species or subspecies are endemical in Carpathian area: Bryodaemon hanakii hanakii (Friv.), Otiorhynchus (Magnanotius) deubeli Ganglb., O. (Magnanotius) schaumi Stierl., O. (Prilisvanus) obsidianus Boh., O. (Prilisvanus) opulentus Germ., Phyllobius (s. str.) transsylvanicus Stierl. The best represented are the Palearctic spread species (20%), followed by the European species (14%) and the Eurosiberian species (13%). The Carpathian species (7%) and the Alpine-Carpathian species (6%) are also well represented. High abundance has especially the montainous species, characteristic to the area (tab. 2). Into the lawns, among the mountainous species are abundant the common species. For all habitats the biodiversity and equitability index have high values.
