In this note original data on the Bruchids of the Aspromonte National Park are reported. The specimens examined were surprisingly found within the field activities for a project aimed to deepen the saproxylic coleopteran fauna of the Aspromonte National Park (Calabrian Apennines, Italy), in three different agroforestry systems dominated by chestnut. Out of a total of 134 specimens 129 have been identified as belonging to 3 genera and 14 species, namely: Paleoachantoscelides gilvus (Gyllenhal, 1839), Bruchidius dispar (Gyllenhal, 1833), Bruchidius murinus (Boheman, 1829), Bruchidius olivaceus (Germar, 1824), Bruchidius seminarius (Linnaeus, 1767), Bruchidius tibialis (Boheman, 1829), Bruchidius varius (Olivier, 1795), Bruchidius imbricornis (Panzer, 1795), Bruchidius pygmaeus (Boheman, 1833), Bruchidius trifolii (Motschulsky, 1873), Bruchus brachialis Fahraeus, 1839, Bruchus pisorum (Linnaeus, 1758), Bruchus rufipes Herbst, 1783, Bruchus viciae.
