Abstract
New findings of five weevil species in Baltic amber are given. Morphological characters of sexual dimorphism of Palaeometrioxena zherikhini Legalov, 2012 and Succinometrioxena poinari Legalov, 2012 are shown for the first time. Caulophilus sucinopunctatus (Kuúka, 1992), comb. n., placem. n. is transferred from the genus Phloeophagus Schoenherr, 1838 of the tribe Rhyncolini to the genus Caulophilus Wollaston, 1854 of the tribe Dryotribini.
