Remarks

If Sama (2002) was correct, this species must be extremely rare. This species is polyphagous in deciduous trees (especially Quercus , also in Carpinus, Aesculus, Fagus, Castanea, Ulmus, Malus, Betula ). Larvae feed subcortically in dead branches and stems (Svacha and Danilevsky 1987; Bense 1995; Sama 2002). All records, including the present record, from Turkey show the species probably is distributed across the whole of northern Turkey.
