Abstract
Materials of the supertribe Ceutorhynchitae Gistel, 1848 of the Latvian fauna were studied in beetle collections of the Baltic region. As a result, faunistic data were obtained for ten species from eight genera that were considered very rare. Detailed information on these species in Latvia is given, including references, host plants, phenology and general distribution. Three species Pelenomus quadrituberculatus (Fabricius, 1787), Ceutorhynchus cakilis (Hansen, 1917) and Datonychus melanostictus (Marsham, 1802) are the new records for Latvia.

Keywords: fauna, new records, Baltic region.
