Remarks.
Pachyta lamed
is a widely distributed Holarctic species. In the Palaearctic region, it primarily occurs in the northern parts of Europe and Asia (
Cherepanov 1990a
). The species mainly inhabits coniferous forests having a large share of spruce (
Picea
spp.), which is the host plant of the larvae. The adults fly from the end of June to mid-August. After mating, the females lay eggs on the thin roots of decaying thick-trunked trees. After their third hibernation, the larvae abandon the galleries and make pupal cells in the upper layer of the soil (
Cherepanov 1990a
).
In Mongolia, it is rarely encountered in the taiga ecosystem (e.g.,
Namhaidorzh 1972
,
Mueller
et al. 2013
).
Only a single male was observed on the fireweed
Chamaenerion angustifolium
on the exposed site in dark taiga habitat (Fig.
6A
).
