Larinus sibiricus is a species of true weevil found in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. [1]
The weevil feeds on Xeranthemum annuum (Asteraceae). [1] Females lay eggs on the flowerheads, and larvae undergo development inside the flower heads. The species' larvae are parasitized by Bracon urinator (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) [1] and Zeuxia cinerea (Diptera: Tachinidae). [2]
