SUMMARY Relationships between the Mediterranean and southern African genera oFCleonini (Curculionidae) were assessed using preliminary phylogenetic analysis and palaeohistorical reconstruction by maximum likelihood inference of ancestral distributions. Intergeneric relationships were found to be present only between sister taxa belonging to basal branches of the trees, suggesting that the faunas of the two regions were connected only during the early stages of radiation ofthe tribe. A critical revision ofthe species composition ofsome Afro—Mediterranean genera revealed that only Pram/oremizoriiyinzir has a disjunct Mediterranean—southern African distribution. This is regarded as having been determined by a recent expansion of the range of the genus from the Mediterranean region towards southern Africa via the eastern Africa grasslands. INTRODUCTION The Curculionidae subfamily Lixinae Schoenherr, 1823 is composed of about 100 genera, presently included in three tribes: Lixini Schoenherr, 1823; Rhinocyllini Lacordaire, 1863; and Cleonini Schoenherr, 1826. This last tribe accounts for most of the genera, more than 80. Its taxonomy is still based on Faust (1904), who also provided the only available key to all the genera. Lacking any comprehensive and comparative evaluation of characters, genera are not always clear and unequivocal; in some cases they seem to be para- phyletic taxa, with uncertain boundaries.
