Species text
Zacladus exiguus is a scarce southern weevil, phytophagous on several small-flowered crane?s-bill Geranium species. It occurs on coastal cliffs, sand dunes and other coastal sites. Grazing, cutting or some other disturbance, such as rotovation, on a rotational basis, is necessary to maintain open conditions (Hyman & Parsons 1992). References
