Oedecnema gebleri Ganglbauer, 1889

Material examined.

Remarks.

This is a typical Siberian species that is distributed from Eastern Europe (Ukraine and European Russia) to the Pacific Ocean. Oedecnema gebleri is a polyphagous cerambycid that develops in the basal zones and in the stumps of different deciduous and coniferous trees and then pupates in the soil. The imagines can be found on flowers from the end of May to August ( Švácha and Danilevsky 1989, Cherepanov 1990a).

Several specimens were collected on flowers in this locality in June 2005 ( Danilevskaya et al. 2009).

Only a single female was observed in the habitat of a rather old Populus forest that extends along the Khamir River in the foothills of the West Altai Mountains.
