Overview
Japanocorus
*Japanocorus* Ohbayashi, 1937 is a small, monotypic genus of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lepturinae, endemic to Japan. Adults are slender and tapered, typically 10–20 mm, and are conspicuous diurnal visitors to flowers, particularly Apiaceae and Rosaceae. Larvae develop over 2–4 years in decaying wood of broadleaf trees. The genus is considered uncommon, associated with forest edges and woodland at elevations up to 1000 m.
