Dissopachys

Dissopachys

*Dissopachys* Blackburn, 1901 is a monotypic genus of longhorn beetles originating in Australia, where its single species developed in close association with *Eucalyptus* trees. Following the widespread planting of eucalyptus across Mediterranean regions, the genus has been intercepted in the West Palaearctic but has not established permanent populations there. Adults are medium-sized beetles of 20–40 mm, variable in coloration, and capable of strong flight. Larvae develop subcortically before entering the wood of dead or dying host trees.
