On June 8th, 2014, a single specimen of the weevil Pachytychius sparsutus was recorded on calcareous grassland at the Felsenberg near Schloßböckelheim (Nahe valley). The rare, xerothermophilous species is known to occur in the southern part of Central Europe and in Southern Europe. It develops in the fruit pods of various broom species. Recent records are known from the Rhineland, Hesse and Thuringia and the species is regarded as vulnerable (RL 3).
