Black vine weevil is the common name of Otiorhynchus sulcatus. It's one of two weevils whose feeding leaves azalea leaves notched or scalloped along the margins. The feeding also may cause the leaves to yellow, drop or curl. Additionally, the larval stage of these two weevils tends to attack the plant's roots.

It's considered a serious pest. The grubs may be controlled below ground by a soil drench, such as with imidacloprid. The adults above ground may need treatments every three weeks throughout the summer with the active ingredient acephate.
