Larinus is a genus of true weevils, comprising about 180 species, mostly in the Palaearctic region.[1][2] Turkey appears to have a significant diversity of the group, with more than 50 species recorded in the Eastern part of the country.[1]
Several of these beetles are used as agents of biological pest control against noxious weeds. They feed on flower heads, destroying the developing seeds of the weeds.
