The spotted hornbill ( Paracorymbia maculicornis , syn .: Leptura maculicornis , Corymbia maculicornis , Stictoleptura maculicornis ) is a longhorn beetle from the subfamily of the narrow goats (Lepturinae).
description
The eight to ten millimeter large species can be distinguished from most similar Central European longhorn beetles by the yellowish ringed central antennae . The brownish elytra are blackened at the top. Only Stictoleptura hybrida has similarly colored antennae, but is larger and has no darkened wing-top tips.
Occurrence
The spotted neck buck occurs in France, Central and Northern Europe, in the Balkans , in the Urals and in the Caucasus . In addition to the widespread Paracorymbia maculicornis maculicornis (De Geer, 1775), Greece also has its own subspecies, Paracorymbia maculicornis ondreji (Slama, 1993). In Central Europe, the species is usually not uncommon in montane locations, but also occurs in the plains. Current reports are only missing from Lower Saxony, Schleswig-Holstein and Brandenburg.
Way of life
The larva develops in two years mainly in coniferous, less often in hardwood. It lives in about six inches thick, rotten branches. The diurnal beetles fly from June to July. They are often found on flowers, where they also mate.
