Abstract

Over 30 specimens of the coffee bean weevil Araecerus fasciculatus (De Geer, 1775) (Coleoptera, Anthribidae) were found in the city of Voronezh for the first time. This is the fifth record of this polyphagous quarantine pest in the territory of European Russia. Araecerus fasciculatus was imported to Voronezh from South Vietnam along with dried wild bananas Musa balbisiana Colla, 1820. The article includes photographs of both male and female specimens of this species, as well as photos of their genitalia taken for the first time.
