Overview

A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.

Coriomeris denticulatus faces significant population decline due to habitat degradation from agricultural intensification and urban development across its European range. The species' specialized feeding requirements on specific host plants make it particularly vulnerable to changes in vegetation composition and management practices. Climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of its preferred plant species, creating additional stress on already fragmented populations.

Threat summary
