Species text
This weevil is widespread but local in the Midlands and northern England, and also recorded in southern and eastern England. The species is associated with Vicia species, particularly Tufted Vetch V. cracca and the larvae occur in the pods. It has been recorded from woodland rides, grassland, hedgerows, floodplain fens and road-side verges (Hyman & Parsons 1992). References
