Pseudocalamobius

Pseudocalamobius

*Pseudocalamobius* Kraatz, 1879 is a small but robust East Asian longhorn beetle, its dense, cryptic pubescence rendering it remarkably inconspicuous against bark and woody stems of its Fabaceae hosts. Adults measure 6–12 mm and are active from May through August, often found directly on host plants such as Wisteria or beneath loose bark. Larvae bore into dead or dying wood and stems, with development spanning one to three years. The genus ranges from sea level to around 800 m across Japan, China, and Korea.
