Distribution
editDescription
editLiparus coronatus can reach a body length of about 11–13 mm (0.43–0.51 in).[3] These rather uncommon small weevils are almost completely shiny black. Pronotum is finely and densely punctured. The basal edge is lined with yellow scales throughout, with two large yellow scaly spots on each side. Femurs are strong and pointed.
Biology
editAdults of Liparus coronatus can be found from March to September.[4] Larvae develop within rootstock. These weevils live on Apiaceae, mainly on chervil (Anthriscus sylvestris), Rough Chervil (Chaerophyllum temulum), wild carrot (Daucus species), Carrot (Daucus carota) and Pastinaca species.[5][6][7]
