The first record of Coryssomerus capucinus (Beck, 1817) (Curculionidae: Conoderinae: Conoderitae: Coryssomerini) from Novosibirskaya Oblast is given. The distribution map in Siberia, illustrations and redescription of this species are presented. It is the first record from Novosibirskaya Oblast and the easternmost finding of C. capucinus.

Introduction
The tribe Coryssomerini is a diverse group of 25 genera distributed predominantly in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions (Alonso-Zarazaga and Lyal 1999). Two genera, Coryssomerus Schoenherr, 1825 and Euryommatus Roger, 1857, live in the Palaearctic and the Oriental genus Metialma Pascoe, 1871 reaches to the north of the south of the Far East (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017; Legalov 2020). The genus Coryssomerus includes three species (Alonso-Zarazaga et al. 2017). Two Coryssomerini species were recorded in Siberia (Legalov 2020). The easternmost find of Coryssomerus capucinus (Beck, 1817) was Tyumen region (Bukhkalo 2011).
It is the first record of this species from Novosibirskaya Oblast and the easternmost finding of C. capucinus.
Materials and methods
Studied specimen is kept in the ISEA – Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals (Russia: Novosibirsk).
Photographs, descriptions and body measuring were performed using a Zeiss Stemi 2000-C dissecting stereomicroscope.
The terminology of weevil body is according to Lawrence et al. (2010). The systematics of studied taxa are based on Alonso-Zarazaga et al. (2017) and Legalov (2018).
