Larinus sibiricus is a species of true weevil found in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.[1]

The weevil feeds on Xeranthemum annuum (Asteraceae).[1] Females lay eggs on the flowerheads, and larvae undergo development inside the flower heads. The species' larvae apparently are parasatized by Bracon urinator (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).[1]
