Species text
This small reddish weevil is very local and in Hymans & Parson (1992) had recently been recorded from only four vice-counties, all in southern England. Old records show that this species has been more widely recorded in England and noted as far north as Fife, Scotland. The beetle occurs on disturbed ground and woodland rides. It is phytophagous, associated with spear thistle Cirsium vulgare and musk thistle Carduus nutans, and probably occasionally on other species of thistle. This species is probably threatened by loss of habitat through development and improvement, and conversion to arable agriculture. Natural succession may also have contributed to this species decline. Disturbance, such as rotovation, on a rotational basis, is needed to maintain open conditions and encourage early successional stages (Hyman & Parsons, op. cit.). References
