Ergates (Callergates) gaillardoti Chevrolat, 1854 occurs in Turkey, Syria and Lebanon. The species develops in Pinus spp. and it is often accompanied by its close relative Ergates (Ergates) faber (Linnaeus, 1767). The beetles in the pictures were reared from larvae collected in Kassab N Latakia (NW Syria) in a dead decaying trunk of Pinus halepensis.

According to Rejzek and Rébl (1999) the preferred host of this species in Central Europe is field maple (Acer campestre). Thicker branches and trunks are usually attacked. Larvae feed subcortically and later in sapwood creating a very characteristic frass pattern filled with fine sawdust. When entering the wood the larvae never block the entrance holes (Figure). They secure the pupal cells by a wad of frass deeper in the wood. The beetles can occasionally be found on flowers but they probably gather on them during the night and stay there a substantial part of the next day, analogous to their close relative Leioderes tuerki, a typical nocturnal species. Leioderes tuerki is not active before dusk and during the night it flies around cordwood and comes to flowering plants, shrubs and trees. During the next morning it can for example be found sitting on flowering hawthorn, but it disappears before noon. Most of the beetles spend the day sitting on leaves of the host plants (Juglans regia and others in case of Leioderes tuerki).

These pictures show a female of Tragosoma depsarium (Linnaeus, 1767). Tragosoma depsarium is a Holoarctic species. In the Palaearctics it lives in the coniferous forests of Europe and Siberia. In Europe it reaches the Pyrenees in the SW and the mountain Olympus (Greece) in the SE. In Central Europe, however, it certainly belongs to the rarest longhorn beetle species. Tragosoma depsarium develops in Pinus spp. and sometimes also in Norway spruce (Picea abies). Larvae of Tragosoma depsarium feed primarily in the decaying sapwood of dead, fallen trunks, and occasionally in old stumps (cf. Figures 1 - 3). The development period lasts at least three years. Pupation takes place in the wood and adults appear from the end of June to August (middle of July to August in Central Europe) and are active during the night.

Body length: 16 - 35 mm
Life cycle: > 3 years
Adults in: June - August
Host plant: Pinus, Picea abies
Distribution: Holoarctic species

The beetle in these pictures was reared from a larva collected in a dead fallen trunk of Picea abies.
