Sitona cylindricollis, the sweetclover weevil, is a species of broad-nosed weevil in the beetle family Curculionidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in North America,[1] where it is a pest of sweetclover and alfalfa. Larvae feed on the root nodules of these plants, eventually pupating near the soil surface.[5]
