This is the first report of this species feeding on the foliage of almond plants. Its feeding and damage to plant were observed in the 2011-2013 period. The adults of the weevil appeared at the end of August, and their feeding activities continued through September-November. Due to feeding at the edges of the leaves, the damaged leaves became irregularly shaped and in some instances the whole leaf lamina was eaten or left as midribs.}, number={1}, publisher={Türkiye Entomoloji Derneği}
