Diagnostic Notes
Weevils of the genus Sitona are among the most common and injurious pests of legumes, in particular clover (Trifolium spp.) Sitona flavescens is the most widespread species in the UK which is distributed widely in the grass growing areas of the country. The adult weevil feeds on the leaves of the plant, cutting the commonly-seen 'U'-shaped notches in edges of the leaf.
