Extract

It appears from the literature that the species of Longitarsus recorded from ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) or its ally the groundsel (S. vulgaris), are L. dorsalis, F., L. suturellus, Duft., L. senecionis, Bris., L. jacobaeae, Wat., L. ochroleucus, Marsh., and L. gracilis, Kutsch.; the last named species is also recorded by Bedel from Tussilago. In addition L. succineus, Foudr., has been associated with various composites, such as Eupatorium cannabinum and Chrysanthemum spp. but, apparently, never before with Senecio.
