This is, however, a poorly documented and rarely observed phenomenon, which misled Arzanov & Grebennikov (2017) into the erroneous conclusion that all Cleonini are flightless. Active flight has been reported for at least three economically important species: Asproparthenis punctiventris (Germar, 1823) (e.g., Orlachiova 1956 ; Auersch 1961 ; Tóth et al. 2006 ), Bothynoderes affinis (Schrank, 1781) ( Kokovikhin 1966 ) , and Temnorhinus brevirostris (Gyllenhal, 1834) ( Brunner 1959 ) . Meregalli (2005) reported flight in Eurycleonus talamellii Meregalli, 2005 . One of us (BI) observed in Mongolia active flight of, likely, Conorhynchus conirostris Gebler, 1829 . Robert Stejskal (personal communication) observed in central Europe active flight of Bothynoderes affinis , Asproparthenis punctiventris , Cleonis pigra , and Cyphocleonus dealbatus Gmelin, 1790 .
