Several new tribes, genera and species of Curculionoidea are described from the earlymost Eocene Oise amber (France), viz., the new tribes Oiserhinini trib. nov. (type genus: Oiserhinus gen. nov.) (in Anthribidae: Anthribinae), Palaeotanaini trib. nov. (type genus: Palaeotanaos Kirejtshuk, Legalov et Nel, 2015) (in Brentidae: Apioninae), Sciabregmini trib. nov. (type genus: Sciabregma Scudder 1893) (in Curculionidae: Molytinae); the new genera Oiserhinus gen. nov. (type species: Oiserhinusinsolitus sp. nov.), Oisecalles gen. nov. (type species: Oisecalles latosquamosus sp. nov.) in Cryptorhynchini: Cryptorhynchina), Rhinoporkus gen. nov. (type species: Rhinoporkus gratiosus sp. nov.) (in Dryophthorinae: Dryophthorini), Jantarhinus gen. nov. (type species: Jantarhinus compressus sp. nov.) (in Conoderinae: Conoderini), Jantaronosik gen. nov. (type species: Jantaronosik nebulosus sp. nov.) (in Curculioninae: Acalyptini), Tolstonosik gen. nov. (type species: Tolstonosikoisensis sp. nov.) (in Entiminae: Eudiagogini); and the new species Oiserhinusinsolitus sp. nov., Sciabregmasquamosa sp. nov., Oisecalles latosquamosus sp. nov., Rhinoporkus gratiosus sp. nov., Jantarhinus compressus sp. nov., Jantaronosik nebulosus sp. nov., and Tolstonosikoisensis sp. nov. The generic name Protoceletes Rheinheimer, 2007, syn. nov. is synonymized under Electrotribus Hustache, 1942.
