Overview
Jordanoleiopus
*Jordanoleiopus* Breuning, 1936 is a small, monotypic Levantine genus of longhorn beetles reaching 5–10 mm in length. Its single species inhabits oak woodlands of Jordan and Israel, where adults are active from May through August. The cylindrical, densely pubescent body provides effective camouflage against bark, a hallmark of the genus. Larvae develop subcortically to deep within the wood of dead or dying *Quercus*, with development spanning one to three years.
