Remarks. Eodorcadion carinatum involvens is one of the five described subspecies that are distributed between the Yenisei River and the Far East. This taxon is the most common and widespread in the northern and central parts of Mongolia where it was recorded from many localities. Only a few sites are known in southern part of the country. This species was discussed in a previous paper concerning the longhorned beetles of Mongolia (Karpiński, Szczepański, Boldgiv et al. 2018). According to Danilevsky (2007), larvae are most likely associated with Agropyron Gaertn. and Elymus L. (currently a synonym of Zizania L.) ( Poaceae).
