Reed beetles live on plants in wetlands. The larvae develop attached to the roots in the sediment and live as sap suckers gnawing a hole into the root. They breathe by tapping the aerenchyma of the plant using two hollow abdominal hooks, which are connected to their tracheal system; therefore, they can live even in anoxic mud (

). Most species are mono- or oligophagous, especially the larvae. Adult beetles feed on the leaves, although some species are pollen feeders, and some may also feed on petals. If a larva is attached to the root of a plant and gnawing traces are found, we can be sure that this is a host plant for this species. Adults may use a slightly broader range of plants. Several species feeding on pollen use the plants of their habitat. Therefore, adults can be observed on wetland plants that are mostly not larval food plants. The adults are active mainly in spring and early summer, sometimes also in autumn. No specific phenology data are provided here for the species because many have a wide distribution range and the time of

). Dispersal vicariance analysis and divergence time estimation revealed that the European and North American-Asian lineages diverged during the Eocene. Moreover, subsequent differentiation occurred repeatedly between North American and Asian species, which was facilitated by three dispersal events from North America to Asia and one in the opposite direction during the late Eocene through the late Miocene (
