Abstract - Three species of Curculionidae new to the Italian fauna (Coleoptera) - The presence in Italy of three species of Curculionidae, the first two belonging to the Entiminae Otiorhynchini, and the third to the Lixinae Lixini, is reported for the first time. The taxa are: Otiorhynchus stussineri Stierlin, 1880 (Friuli - Venezia Giulia), Otiorhynchus (Aranihus) parvi-collis Gyllenhal, 1834 (Sardinia), and Larinus (Phyllonomeus) centaurii (Olivier, 1807) (Valle d'Aosta, Friuli - Venezia Giulia). Their general distribution and the characters useful to distinguish them from the related species already known for Italy are also reported.
