The cereal leaf beetle is native to Europe, and is also reported in north Africa and the near east. It is a pest of cereals, grains and various grasses, and may cause significant yield loss in developing or uncontrolled populations.
The first North American infestation was reported from Berrien County, Michigan, USA in 1962. The first record for the cereal leaf beetle in Canada was reported in 1967 from southwestern Ontario. The cereal leaf beetle is now widely distributed throughout eastern North America.
