Overview
Strangalomorpha
*Strangalomorpha* Solsky, 1871 is a small, monotypic genus of longhorn beetles occurring across eastern Siberia and Japan, representing one of the more distinctive Lepturinae of the eastern Palaearctic. Adults are medium-sized (8–18 mm), with a characteristically tapered body and often bright, variable coloration. They are diurnal flower visitors, most frequently observed on Apiaceae and Rosaceae blooms along forest margins and woodland edges from May through August, at elevations up to 1000 m.
