With the exception of about three species there is hardly any information regarding the biology of Anaglyptus. The larval substrate preferences of Anaglyptus ganglbaueri are very similar to Paraclytus raddei (Ganglbauer, 1881) and larvae of both species can frequently be found together. The larval substrate is usually found inside living hollow deciduous trees. It comprises 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. Adults hatch in late autumn and overwinter in the pupal cells. The beetles emerge very early in the following spring. Anaglyptus ganglbaueri visits flowers and blossoming shrubs. The depicted beetle was collected in Rudbar (North Iran).

Arhopalus rusticus is a common species in pine forests of Europe and North Africa. It also develops in other coniferous tress (Picea, Abies, Larix) but Pinus is preferred. The larvae feed subcortically, later in hardwood of dead hosts. Adults are active during night and can be found on the hosts or sometimes they are attracted to the lights.

The living beetle and the mounted beetle (left) was beaten from a blossoming hawthorn (Crataegus) in locality situated along the main road from Sparta to Tripoli on a mountain plateau (20 km S Tripoli, 900 m, Peloponnese peninsula, Greece).
The mounted beetle (right) was found sitting on an oak leaf in the environs of Erdemli W Mersin (SW Turkey). Interestingly, the beetles tend to gather on selected living trees showing a strong preference for stunted oaks growing on poor stony grounds. This behaviour implies that a semiochemical mediated communication might be used by this species.

Arhopalus syriacus is apparently distributed in the whole of the Mediterranean region. It develops in pines (Pinus pinaster, Pinus salzmanni, Pinus laricio, Pinus halepensis). Larvae feed first under the bark, later in the wood of dead, fallen or standing trunks of greater diameter, in stumps and often in shallow roots. Adults of this nocturnal species can be found on the host plants at night or in bark crevices and under loose bark at day.
