Overview

Evodinellus

*Evodinellus* Plavilstshikov, 1915 is a small, monotypic genus of Lepturinae whose single species inhabits boreal and montane forests of eastern Siberia and Japan. Adults are diurnal flower-visitors, frequently encountered on Apiaceae and Rosaceae blooms along forest edges and clearings from May to August. The tapered, often brightly coloured body and finely faceted eyes are hallmarks of the genus. Larvae develop over two to four years in decaying conifer wood, reflecting a semivoltine life cycle typical of high-latitude longhorns.
