Adult and larval host plants of Larinus latus (Herbst 1874), a successful biological control agent, were determined in eastern Turkey. Larinus latus lives on five Onopordum species and uses nine Cardueae species and one Chenopodiaceae as food plants. The most interesting observation is its strict concentration on globe thistle, Echinops sphaerocephalus.
