Beforeour studies, only few data was available onsnout-beetles of this area, and these referred to only12 species (Ma r c u 1957, En d r ö d i 1960, Te o d o r e a-n u 1986). In 1999, Ko c s and Po d l u s s á n y, published83 Curculionoidea species from Rimetea, Buru andRuncului Gorges. Till now, we published of ourdata only those from „Scăriţa-Beloara” BotanicalReserve (Te o d o r and Cr i ş a n 1996) and from Poşaga-BelioaraValley area (Te o d o r et al. 2001), altogether106 species.Material and methodsThe snout-beetles were collected from differenthabitats in 22 locations between 1994-2006:Bistra Valley, Dobra Valley, Gârde, Lupşa, LupşaValley, Muncelu, Brăzeşti, between Brăzeşti andSălciua, between Băişoara Mountain and ScăriţaBelioara, Scăriţa Belioara, Poşaga-Belioara Valleyarea, “Muntele Mare” (Big Mountain), between“Muntele Mare” (Big Mountain) and BăişoaraMountain, Runcului Gorges, Ocoliş, Vidolm,Ocolişel, Lungeşti, Băişora Mountain, Filii Mountain,Rimetea, Buru (fig. 1).The following types of habitats were selectedfor sampling: spruce forests, mixed forests of coniferousand deciduous trees, pine forests, beech forests,mixed deciduous forests, coppices, limestonehabitats, sub-alpine meadow, mountain meadow,natural grasslands (hayfields and pastures) andweed associations.Location of sampling sites in the middle ArieşRiver basin (fig. 1):1.

don’t indicate the localities where this species wascollected.Collected material in the middle Arieş Riverbasin area: - 1♀, 23.IV.1998 – Salicetum association,Bistra Valley; - 1♂, 24.V.1998 -Alneto-Betulo-Salicetum association, Runcului Gorges.Data from upper Arieş River basin area: Casade Piatră, Fileşti Valley (Te o d o r et al. 2002, Teodo r and Cr i ş a n 2004).Data from upper course of Someşului Cald Riverarea: - Ponorului Valley - Ic-Ponor, SomeşuluiCald Gorges (Te o d o r et al. 1999, Cr i ş a n et al. 1999,Te o d o r and Cr i ş a n 2002).In the middle Arieş River basin the highestnumber of species was found in hayfields (141 species),followed by coppices (119 species), pastures(88 species), mixed deciduous forests (48 species),mountain meadows (36 species), weeds (35 species),mixed forests of coniferous and deciduous trees (28species), beech forests (28 species) and pine forests(23 species). In the spruce forests we found only 16snout-beetle species, in limestone habitats only 14species and the lowest number of snout-beetle specieswas found in subalpine meados, only 5 species(fig. 5).ConclusionsThe high number of identified snout-beetlespecies (268 species) and the significant number ofrare and endemic species, emphasise the importanceof the studied area from Curculionoidea fauna pointof view.The high biodiversity and the presence of endemicand rare species in this area, justify the needfor the protection of the habitats in which thesesnout-beetle species live. We can protect these habitatskeeping the traditional activities at the actuallevel and not cuting irrationally the wood.AcknowledgementWe thank to dr.
