Ceutorhynchus americanus is a species of true weevils in the tribe Ceutorhynchini. It is found in Alaska, United States, as well as Ontario, Canada. It feeds on the stems of Raphanus raphanistrum. [2] Seeing as Raphanus species are not native in the same distribution as the listed C. americanus native dostribution one can assume this species' main host plant isn't Raphanus sp. but merely able to generally browse on Raphanus sp.
