Turkaromia

Turkaromia

*Turkaromia* Danilevsky, 1988 is a small, monotypic genus of Cerambycinae restricted to Central Asia, where its sole species develops exclusively on *Tamarix* (Tamaricaceae). Adults are active from May to August, frequenting dead and dying wood at low elevations (0–500 m). Larvae begin development beneath the bark before boring into sapwood, completing their cycle over one to three years. The genus is rarely encountered and best sought on recently dead *Tamarix* stems or under loose bark.
