Catasarcus impressipennis

Unknown.

Southern Western Australia plus parts of South Australia and Victoria.

This weevil was approximately 16 millimetres long.

Weevils chew the leaves of Eucalyptus trees around the edges, giving a scalloped appearance. Their eggs are laid in clusters just below the soil surface and the larvae feed on the roots of eucalypts.

We have seen this weevil all year round.
