Species text
This is a very local weevil which had been recently recorded from only three vice-counties in Hyman & Parsons (1992), all in south-eastern England. Old records suggest that this species was formerly more widespread, though had a disjunct distribution being recorded in southern England, and Elgin and Easterness in Scotland. The beetles occurs on grassland, woodland, roadside verges, coastal shingle and probably disturbed ground. It is phytophagous, associated with broom Cytisus scoparius. The larvae feed on unripe seeds in the pods. Disturbance may be needed to maintain open conditions. References
