Taxonomy and phylogeny of the superfamily Curculionoidea
Taxonomical studies of weevils from other taxons than Hyperini are ever done in the cooperation with other colleagues (e.g., Roman Borovec, Jan Batelka).
Recently solved subtopics:
Revision of Sciaphobus genus
(in cooperation with Roman Borovec)
The genus Sciaphobus is relativelly morphologically uniform and well defined Sciaphilini genus, containing more than 20 species. All the species will be redescribed and illustrated. Lectotypes of the studied species will be designated and the examined types of genus Sciaphobus commented and illustrated.
Revision of Dinas genus
(in cooperation with Jan Batelka and Jakub Straka)
The genus Dinas is the endemic insect genus of the Cape Verde islands. All described Dinas species are regarded as single-island endemits. The revision of Dinas genus is based on a new material collected by Jan Batelka and Jakub Straka on the Cape Verde islands.
Cossoninae of Cape Verde Islands
(in cooperation with Jan Batelka)
The revision of the subfamily Cossoninae including description of larvae is based on a new material collected by Jan Batelka and Jakub Straka on the Cape Verde islands
