The Brentidae of Israel (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
The six species of Brentidae occurring in Israel are reviewed, and an identification key and distributional maps are provided. Three species—Amorphocephala excantator (Damoiseau, 1964), Amorphocephala sulcata (Calabresi, 1920) and Eremoxenus chan Semenow, 1892—are newly recorded from Israel. Amorphocephala arabica Damoiseau, 1964 is considered a junior synonym of Amorphocephala sulcata (Calabresi, 1920).

Description of a new species of Calodromus Guérin-Méneville, 1832 (Coleoptera: Brentidae: Cyphagoginae)
Calodromus bambii n. sp. is described based on three male specimens from Vietnam and Thailand. The new taxon is closely related to Calodromus amabilis Kleine, 1916, but can be distinguished by the different shape of the first tarsal article of male posterior legs, the different proportions between its thickened part and the slender one, and by the ball-like apical part of the distal tubercle. An updated key for the identification of the males of the known species of Calodromus is provided. A photo of the peculiar defensive behaviour of a Calodromus species is published for the first time
Revision of the genus Opisthozemius Kolbe, 1916, with description of a new species and designation of a new genus (Coleoptera: Brentidae, Cyphagoginae)
The Afrotropical genus Opisthozemius Kolbe, 1916 is revised. The genus now includes four species, one of which is described as new: Opisthozemius naamae sp. nov., from Tanzania and Zambia. Opisthozemius sulcithorax Damoiseau, 1967, from Java, is removed from the genus Opisthozemius and included in Euparagogus gen. nov. Opisthozemius honestus is placed in synonymy with Opisthozemius vittatus (new synonymy). A key for the identification of the species of Opisthozemius and some distributional data are also given. O. appendiculatus is quoted for the first time from Ghana; O. vittatus for the first time from Central African Republic, Ghana and Uganda
