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 ).
