Species text
The small weevil Sibinia primita is widespread but local in the southern half of England, and also recorded in parts of Wales. It is found in dry sandy areas on disturbed ground, sand pits, coastal shingle, heathland, downland and gardens. It is phytophagous, associated with pearlwort Sagina, also recorded from rock sea-spurrey Spergularia rupicola and possibly associated with chickweed Stellaria and mouse-ear Cerastium. Threats include loss of habitat through improvement and conversion to arable agriculture, development, afforestation, gravel extraction, the infilling of pits, and natural succession. Except on coastal shingle, which should be left undisturbed, disturbance, such as rotovation, is needed to maintain open conditions Hyman & Parsons, 1992). References
