Anaglyptus

Anaglyptus

*Anaglyptus* Mulsant, 1839 — the "Patterned Longhorns" — are medium-sized cerambycids (7–16 mm) instantly recognisable by their striking mosaic of pale and dark pubescent bands, a pattern that varies markedly between species. The genus is represented by 15 species across the western and central Palaearctic, with four occurring in Europe; *A. mysticus* (Linnaeus, 1758) is the most familiar and widespread. Adults are anthophilous and are readily found on flowers or freshly cut timber during May to July. Larvae develop in dead branches and stumps of a wide range of deciduous trees, from orchard trees and hazels to oaks and hornbeams, in broadleaf forests, orchards, gardens, and parks.
