Overview

Kabatekiipsebium

*Kabatekiipsebium* Holzschuh, 1991 is a small, monotypic longhorn beetle genus endemic to Anatolia, Turkey. Its single species inhabits oak woodlands between 500 and 1500 metres elevation, where larvae develop beneath the bark or within the wood of dead and dying *Quercus*. Adults are diurnal to crepuscular, visiting flowers and fresh dead wood from May through August. The genus represents a notable element of the West Palaearctic cerambycid fauna with a highly restricted distribution.
