Ceutorhynchus granulicollis
Local name: svart penningörtsvivel
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
The svart penningörtsvivel faces severe population declines due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development across its range. Pesticide use in agricultural areas has significantly reduced both the weevil populations and their host plants, while climate change is altering the distribution and phenology of suitable habitat conditions.
Habitat
This weevil species inhabits agricultural margins, grasslands, and disturbed areas where its host plants in the Brassicaceae family grow. It is particularly associated with field edges, roadside verges, and semi-natural grasslands that support populations of wild mustard and related cruciferous plants.
