Curculionoidea (snout beetles) with about 60000 species is known as the most diversesuper-families of coleopteran beetles in the world. As for damages caused by snout beetles on crops, study on the species is very important. Therefore, sampling was collected from pastures, garden weeds (peach and plum) and fields (wheat, alfalfa, potato, lentil and onion) of different villages of Maaneh and Samalghan (Northern Khorasan) during April to September of 2013. Snout beetle species was captured by different methods; by hand, sweeping net and light trap. In this study, 9 species belonging to Curculionidae and 5 species belonging to Apionidae were collected and identified. Seven species are new reports for Northern Khorasan.
