On June 8th, 2014, numerous specimens of the weevil Smicronyx coecus were recorded together with the sister species S. jungermanniae on patches of dodder (Cuscuta) on calcareous grassland at the Felsenberg near Schloßböckelheim (Nahe valley). The stenotopic species is known to occur from Central over Southern Europe to the Caucasus. In Germany it is widespread, but only occasionally recorded and is probably under-recorded.
