Distribution and bionomics.
This species was erroneously interpreted by
Kaszab (1968)
who listed it for
Tunceli
, by
Ferrer & Soldati (1999)
who recorded
E. corrugatus
for
Istanbul
,
Antalya
and
Bingöl
provinces, and by
Tezcan
et al.
(2004)
who listed it from
Bartın
,
Muğla
and
Mersin
provinces. In fact, it occurs only from
Kahramanmaraş Province
in the north to Amanos Dağları (
Osmaniye
,
Gaziantep
, and
Hatay
provinces) in the south and probably in adjacent areas of
Syria
. The species was collected from 19:30 to 20:
30 in
the old
Pinus brutia
liana floodplain forest from pine trunks. After 20:30 the beetles climbed higher up the trunks and we could not register their further activity.
