This is a weevil *Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in the subfamily Entiminae (short-snouted/broad-nosed weevils)l possibly an introduced species, the black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) - see http://tinyurl.com/3p58p2u for an image. The larvae of these weevils are root feeders, whereas the adult beetles feed on the margins of leaves in a notching pattern.
