Pachyta quadrimaculata (Linnaeus, 1758)

Material examined.

Selenge Aimag : 40 km NE of Zuunkharaa, dark taiga (48°57'N, 107°05'E), 1270 m a.s.l., 04 VIII 2015, 2♂♂, on Chamaenerion angustifolium , leg. MW .

Remarks.

An ordinary Palaearctic species that is distributed alike P. lamed but in the east it only reaches the Trans-Baikal region ( Cherepanov 1990a). It is definitely more frequent than the previous species. The larvae develop in the roots (under the bark and in the wood) of coniferous trees, mostly pines ( Pinus spp.) Their biology is also similar to the previously described species ( Cherepanov 1990a).

In Mongolia, P. quadrimaculata occurs in the taiga in the northern part of the country, although it is probably also present in Khovd Province ( Namhaidorzh 1972).

We observed this species in the dark taiga habitat together with P. lamed .
