Hypera fuscocinerea is an uncommon weevil widespread but local in England and southern Scotland. It is found in grassland, field margins, chalk pits and occasionally in wetland. It prefers open situations and is primarily found on dry soils with some disturbance. The weevil is phytophagous, associated with medick Medicago and also recorded from tufted vetch Vicia cracca (Hyman & Parsons, 1992). Rotational management is needed to maintain open conditions and prevent loss of habitat to natural succession and scrub invasion. References
