Remarks. Stictoleptura variicornis is distributed from eastern Europe to the Pacific Ocean coast including Japan ( Danilevsky 2017a ). This species, which is rare in Europe, reaches the Bialowieza Forest in Poland ( Gutowski 1995 ), where it is strictly protected by European law. It inhabits dead thick-trunked trees and the stumps of various coniferous and deciduous species. The larva initially lives under the bark and then in the wood, where it usually makes a pupal cell after its second hibernation. The flight period of this beetle occurs between the second half of June to mid-August ( Cherepanov 1990a ). It is a common species in the Mongolian taiga. It was also recorded from Bulgan Aimag by Heyrovsky (1973a) . Although the specimens were observed on the flowers of a few plant species, they seemed to prefer Filipendula palmata (Fig. 6C ).
