Özet: Weevils of the tribes Cleonini and Tanymecini, Cleonis pigra (Scopoli, 1763), Conorhynchus kindermanni Faust,1904, Bothynoderes affinis (Schrank, 1781), Pachycerus segnis (Germar, 1824), Maximus strabus (Gyllenhal, 1834), Asproparthenis punctiventris (Germar, 1824), A. steveni (Faust, 1892), A. omeri Korotyaev, N. Gültekin & L. Gültekin, 2020, Temnorhinus hololeucus (Pallas, 1781), T. nasutus (Hochhuth, 1847), Entymetopus lineolatus Motschulsky, 1860, E. limis (Ménétriés, 1849), Esamus mnischekii (Hochhuth, 1851), Tanymecus dilaticollis Gyllenhal, 1834 and T. tenuis Reitter, 1903 were investigated in the Aras River valley. New biological data and new host plants are reported for A. steveni, B. affinis, Entymetopus lineolatus, E. limis and Temnorhinus nasutus. Bassia hirsuta is a new host plant for B. affinis, M. strabus, Entymetopu lineolatus, E. limis and Tanymecus tenuis. Suaeda confusa is a new food plant for Temnorhinus nasutus, and Atriplex micrantha, for Temnorhinus hololeucus. Pupae of Entymetopus lineolatus and A. steveni are detected in a soil case under their host plants which are the first data on the localisation of pupal stage of these species. One of the most interesting findings is that T. hololeucus has the ability to flight to reach host plants in desert habitat. Entymetopus limis, genus Esamus Chevrolat, 1880 and Esamus mnischekii (Hochhuth, 1851) are new records for the fauna of Turkey.
