damage to the pod
gall
up to 10 larve feed within the pod on the developing seeds; this may cause some galling of the pods. Pupation in the soil.
host plants
Fabaceae, oligophagous
Lathyrus latifolius, linifolius, niger, pratensis, sylvestris, tuberosus, vernus; Pisum sativum; Vicia cassubica, cracca, dumetorum, faba, pisiformis, sativa & subsp. nigra, sepium, sylvatica, tenuifolia.
larvae and pupae
detailed description in Skuhrovec, Gosik & Caldara.
notes
only in the lowest of the three pods in the pictures above a Tychius was found. This seems to indicate that the weevil larva does not play an important role in the galling of the pods.
