Data about weevil beetles of Georgia have been met since the second part of the xlx century (Proceedings of Kolenati 1859, Schnaider, Leder 1878, Reiter 1916 et al). Weevil beetles were studied by many researches in the first part of the xx century, but their purposeful, planning study began in 1960 and is still going on. At present 901 species and subspecies of weevil beetles were revealed in Georgia, which is the highest rate in Eurasia. High endemism of weevil beetles of Georgia must be noted (28,5%), by which genera of Otiorhynchus and Plintus are mark out.
