Chlorophorus varius, the grape wood borer, is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1]
It was described by O.F. Müller in 1766 under the original name of Leptura varia. [2]
Subspecies and varietas include: [3]
This species is present in most of Europe (except the north) (Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bulgaria, Corsica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Malta, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine), Caucasus, Transcaucasia, Turkey, North Iran and in the Near East (Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria). [4] [5]
These beetles mainly inhabit sunny meadows and woodland edges, at an elevation of 60–800 metres (200–2,620 ft) above sea level. [5]
Chlorophorus varius can reach a body length of 8–14 millimetres (0.31–0.55 in). [6] The body of these beetles is elongated and rather variable in coloration and markings (hence the Latin species name varius). It is covered by a yellow-greenish pubescence, more rarely gray or whitish. The male has longer antennae (reaching mid-elytra) than the female. The pronotum is barred by a black band, sometimes limited to three black spots. The pronotum and elytra have the same width. Elytra are matt, with a C-shaped black marking and two other transversal wasp-like black bands. Legs and antennae are dark brown. Larvae reach a length of about 15 mm. [7]
Adults can be found from May to September. [8] They feed on pollen and nectar of various flowers, especially of Apiaceae. The life cycle lasts 2 – 3 years. [6] [7] Larvae are saproxylic, mainly developing in the wood and dead branches of deciduous trees and shrubs (Vitis, Acer, Quercus, Populus, Malus, Crataegus, Juglans, etc.), sometimes of conifers. [5] [9] Pupation occurs in spring in the wood. [5]
Hylotrupes is a monotypic genus of woodboring beetles in the family Cerambycidae, the longhorn beetles. The sole species, Hylotrupes bajulus, is known by several common names, including house longhorn beetle, old house borer, and European house borer. It is the only genus in the tribe Hylotrupini.
The banded alder borer, Rosalia funebris, is a member of the very diverse family of longhorn beetles.
Callipogon relictus is a species of longhorn beetle which is mostly found in Korea, but also in China and southern part of Russian Far East. It inhabits mixed and deciduous forests. The population of Callipogon relictus is decreasing due to deforestation and uncontrolled collection, and therefore the species are listed in the Russian Red Book.
Brachyta interrogationis is the species of the Lepturinae subfamily in long-horned beetle family. This species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae under the name Leptura interrogationis.
