Mordellistena parvuliformis, sometimes called the sunflower tumbling beetle,[1] is a species of beetle in the genus Mordellistena of the family Mordellidae. It was described by Stshegoleva-Barovskaya in 1930.[2] These larvae are known as pests of sunflower and hemp crops in some regions, particularly in Russia and Ukraine. However, the impacts are believed to be insignificant.[3] The larvae grow up to 9.5 millimetres (0.37 in) long.[3] Adults grow between 2.5 and 3.3 millimetres (0.098 and 0.130 in) long, and are black in colour.
