Remarks.

This is a Siberian species that is distributed from Ural to the Far East, including northern Mongolia, China, and North Korea ( Sama 2002, Danilevsky 2017a). Monochamus impluviatus is a comparatively rare species that feeds exclusively on larch Larix . One generation takes two years to complete. The imagines are active from June to the first half of August. The species is sometimes found sympatrically with Acanthocinus carinulatus Gebler, 1833 and Rhagium inquisitor (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Cherepanov 1990c).

Two specimens were also recorded from Bulgan Aimag by Heyrovský (1967a).

A single female (Fig. 15F View Figure 15 ) was found moving on the ground under a larch tree (Fig. 15G View Figure 15 ). One couple was additionally reared from a branch of a fallen Larix sibirica collected in forest steppe habitat (Fig. 7D View Figure 7 ). The same material was inhabited by larvae of Clytus arietoides and Monochamus sutor .
