The mounted beetles were reared from dead large diameter branch of Ficus carica. The branch was collected in Neo Ithilo (Lakoonia nomos, SW of Peloponnese, Greece) in May 1998. This record represents the first evidence of this introduced species' presence (North Indian origin) in continental Greece. The living specimen was reared from a dead walnut (Juglans regia) branch found near Githio (Lakoonia nomos, SW of Peloponnese, Greece).

The holotype of the newly described species (Sama et Rejzek, 2002) was captured whilst sitting on a branch of a living shrubby Quercus species. However, as the other congeners of the species group ungaricus develop in various living Acer spp., we think it more likely that Acer might be the true host. A species of Acer does occur (although quite rarely) in the type locality. Only recently, our colleague Nicole Auvray, has collected 15 specimens of this remarkable beetle in an Acer-Quercus growth in Kastamonu (N Turkey).

Ropalopus ledereri is a beautiful and very rare species of the southeastern Mediterranean region. It is a typical inhabitant of quickly receding Quercus calliprinos forest-steppe formations. Adult beetles can be found sitting on leaves of the hosts or occasionally they gather on juice-oozing oak trees. They never visit flowers.

This very rare beetle was reared from a larva found in pupal cell built in a substrate present inside a living hollow beech tree. The substrate was a 1-5 cm thick layer of a dead and extremely tenacious red-brown wood in close contact to the sound and very compact heart wood. Such substrate is created in hollow living deciduous trees. The substrate preferences of this species are very similar to Stictoleptura erythroptera (Hagenbach, 1822).
Larvae of Paraclytus raddei also were collected in recently dead trees but the above described substrate was always present. Together with Paraclytus raddei, larvae of Paraclytus reitteri (Ganglbauer, 1881) and Anaglyptus ganglbaueri Reitter, 1886 were collected. After the death of the host larvae of these species frequently penetrate into the neighbouring tissues.
More rarely larvae and dead adults of Paraclytus raddei were collected in dead but very compact and moisture-poor wood of trunks and stumps of Fagus orientalis. The larval substrate always showed characteristic fungal infestation. However, we believe that this sort of substrate is much more frequently infested by Paraclytus reitteri. Anaglyptus spp. have never been observed in this sort of substrate.
All the above mentioned Paraclytus and Anaglyptus species pupate in late autumn and adults overwinter in the pupal cells. The adults emerge very early in the following spring. In contrast to Paraclytus reitteri, this species, Paraclytus raddei, does not visit flowers and consequently it is being recorded much less frequently.

The larval nutrition and female oviposition preferences of Paraclytus reitteri are very similar to those of Paraclytus raddei (Ganglbauer, 1881) and larvae of both species are frequently collected together. Paraclytus reitteri, however, seems to prefere dead but very compact and moisture-poor wood of trunks and stumps of Fagus orientalis (and very likely also other deciduous trees). The larval substrate always showed a characteristic fungal infestation.
