Abstract

An updated systematic list of the species of Curculionoidea recorded as present in Chile, with their synonymy, is provided. For each species, the worldwide distribution by countries is given, and in some cases, new or already known biological information is also presented. Regarding their distribution in Chile, the presence in the current administrative provinces is given. For those species shared with Argentina, their distribution in that country by provinces or territory is also indicated. First records in Chile are reported for the Nemonychidae Rhynchitomacer nigritus Kuschel, 1954 and for the Curculionidae Cylydrorhinus marinus (Burmeister, 1879) and Stenopelmus brunneus (Hustache, 1939). 171 genera and 525 species are cited.
