Notes

Found by Rose Stephens on Broom on Wanstead Flats. Gorse is its common host plant, but it may well be associated with other related species.

Tristan Bantock has informed us that they are very common on Broom on Wanstead Flats. We have both Broom (Cytisus scoparius) and Gorse (Ulex europeus) on the Flats, and it would be worth searching the latter for this weevil.
