The larvae of these beetles often feed on plants of the legume family, Fabaceae. The species Bruchidius siliquastri, for example, is a seed beetle named for its host, the Judas tree (Cercis siliquastrum).[2] It lives on other Cercis species, as well.[1] One of several groups within the genus, the B. centromaculatus group, are mostly limited to acacias.[3] The genus can also be found on plants of the carrot and parsley family, Apiaceae, and the aster family, Asteraceae.[1]
