Stenurella bifasciata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [2]
The Latin species name bifasciata means "with a double fascia".
This species is present in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, and in the Near East (Albania, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, China, Corsica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Sardinia, Serbia, Sicily, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, and Ukraine). [4]
These longhorn beetles live in meadows and slopes in foothills and valleys.
Stenurella bifasciata can reach a length of 6–10 millimetres (0.24–0.39 in). [5] Head, antennae, pronotum and legs are black. Pronotum is slightly punctured. Elytra are yellow brown in the males, while in the females they are red, with a widely darkened elytron's suture, black apices and a black heart-shaped or rhomboid marking, sometimes missing in the males. The last three abdominal segments are usually red. The eleventh (last) antennal segment is longer than the tenth.
Life cycle last 2 years. Larvae develop in dead wood of deciduous trees. [5] They mainly feed on Pedunculate Oak ( Quercus robur ), Fig ( Ficus carica ), White Willow ( Salix alba ), Dog-rose ( Rosa canina ) and Spanish Broom ( Spartium junceum ). [1] Adults can be seen from May to September. [5]
Dermestidae are a family of Coleoptera that are commonly referred to as skin beetles. Other common names include larder beetle, hide or leather beetles, carpet beetles, and khapra beetles. There are over 1,100 species described.
The noble chafer is a species of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae.
Oiceoptoma noveboracense is a member of the family Silphidae, or carrion beetles, which feed on decaying organic matter such as dead animals. Its common name is the margined carrion beetle, from the orange-red margins on the pronotum, which are helpful when identifying this species. The larva is typically light brown to red and also has vertical ridges on its thorax like the adult. This diurnal beetle can be found mainly in the spring into the fall, and it has a strong preference towards a deciduous forest habitat. The primary forensic importance of this beetle is its ability to use the succession of insect fauna to provide confirmation of postmortem intervals.
Stictoleptura rubra, the Red-brown Longhorn Beetle, is a species of beetles belonging to the family Cerambycidae.
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.
Pachyta quadrimaculata is a species of the Lepturinae subfamily in long-horned beetle family.
Clytus rhamni is a species of round-necked longhorns belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae.
Stenopterus rufus is a beetle species of round-necked longhorns belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae.
Stenurella melanura is a flower longhorn beetle species of the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lepturinae.
Anastrangalia dubia is a species of beetle of family Cerambycidae.

Megasoma anubis is a species of beetles belonging to the family Scarabaeidae.
Hycleus pustulatus is a species of blister beetle found in India, Sri Lanka, China and Java.
Oberea pupillata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Leonard Gyllenhaal in 1817, originally under the genus Saperda.
Cerambyx welensii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Alosterna tabacicolor is a species of beetle in family Cerambycidae.
Grammoptera ruficornis is a species of beetle in family Cerambycidae.
Tillus elongatus is a species of beetle in the Family of checkered beetles Cleridae. It is found in the Palearctic. The “Holz” in the German common name Holzbuntkäfer indicates that these checkered beetles are found in wood. Although Tillus elongatus can reach up to a size of 1 cm long, the beetle is rarely seen by humans, as it primarily resides hidden in the wood of trees. The colouration of the males differs from that of the females.
Hylecoetus dermestoides is a species of ship-timber beetles native to Europe.
Melasis fermini is a rare species of soldier beetles native to a small area of Spain. It has only been found in three locations in Guadalajara, Caceres, and Ciudad Real, and its estimated range is less than twelve square kilometers. The species was named in honor of the late Fermín Martín Piera, a Spanish biologist and taxonomist who specialized in the study of dung beetles.
