Cornumutila
Cornumutila
*Cornumutila* Daniel, 1904 is a small monotypic genus of Lepturinae associated with dead and dying montane conifers, primarily Norway spruce (*Picea*) and silver fir (*Abies*), at elevations from 500 to 1800 m. Adults are diurnal flower visitors, most readily observed on Apiaceae and Rosaceae blooms along forest edges between June and August. Larvae develop in decaying wood over two to three years, with development recorded in dying trees with damaged or bark-stripped stems — injuries often caused by livestock or browsing game. The genus is considered a rare indicator of structurally natural montane conifer forests.
