Oedecnema gebleri (Ganglbauer, 1889)

Material examined.

Khentii Aimag : 40 km NE of Baganuur (47°51'N, 108°54'E), 1612 m a.s.l., 22 VIII 2015, 4 larvae, Larix sibirica , leg. LK, WTS .

Remarks.

Oedecnema gebleri is distributed from Eastern Europe (Ukraine and Russia) to the Pacific Ocean ( Danilevsky 2017a). Its polyphagous larvae develop in the basal zones of dead trees and in the stumps of both deciduous and coniferous species. Pupation occurs in the wood or in the soil. The life cycle usually lasts two or three years. The adults feed on various flowers from the end of May to August ( Švácha and Danilevsky 1989, Cherepanov 1990a).

The larvae (Fig. 6G ) were found at ground level in the basal zones of thin larches Larix sibirica in the forest steppe (Fig. 6H ). It is a rather common species in the Mongolian taiga and forest steppe.
