Material examined.

Selenge Aimag: 35 km NE of Zuunkharaa , dark taiga (48°59'N, 106°55'E), 1399 m a.s.l., 05 VIII 2015, 1♂, on Chamaenerion angustifolium , leg. MW GoogleMaps .

Remarks.

Pachyta lamed is a widely distributed Holarctic species. In the Palaearctic region, it primarily occurs in the northern parts of Europe and Asia ( Cherepanov 1990a). The species mainly inhabits coniferous forests having a large share of spruce ( Picea spp.), which is the host plant of the larvae. The adults fly from the end of June to mid-August. After mating, the females lay eggs on the thin roots of decaying thick-trunked trees. After their third hibernation, the larvae abandon the galleries and make pupal cells in the upper layer of the soil ( Cherepanov 1990a).

In Mongolia, it is rarely encountered in the taiga ecosystem (e.g., Namhaidorzh 1972, Müller et al. 2013).

Only a single male was observed on the fireweed Chamaenerion angustifolium on the exposed site in dark taiga habitat (Fig. 6A View Figure 6 ).
