Overview
Rhaphuma
*Rhaphuma* Pascoe, 1858 is a small to medium-sized longhorn beetle genus (6–16 mm) belonging to the tribe Clytini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. With roughly 10 species in the Palaearctic and 4 reaching Europe, the genus is far more diverse in East Asia, where it spans China, Japan, and Korea. Adults are diurnal to crepuscular, visiting flowers and fresh dead wood from May to August. Larvae develop subcortically before entering sapwood of dead and dying Fagaceae, principally oak and chestnut.
