Remarks.
Saperda similis
is a rather rare but widespread species that is distributed from Europe to the Far East (
Danilevsky 2017a
). Although this species is ecologically associated with willows (
Cherepanov 1991b
), according to
Sama (2002)
, it is probably monophagous on
Salix caprea
. The larvae develop in thin stems and branches of willows that are still growing (
Cherepanov 1991b
). The adults are active at dusk and during the night in June and July and can be found on their host plants (
Sama 2002
).
A single larva in a pupal cell (Fig.
9E
) was found in the trunk of a recently dead willow
Salix
sp. in the light taiga next to a river (Fig.
9F
).
