Remarks.
An ordinary Palaearctic species that is distributed alike
P. lamed
but in the east it only reaches the Trans-Baikal region (
Cherepanov 1990a
). It is definitely more frequent than the previous species. The larvae develop in the roots (under the bark and in the wood) of coniferous trees, mostly pines (
Pinus
spp.) Their biology is also similar to the previously described species (
Cherepanov 1990a
).
In Mongolia,
P. quadrimaculata
occurs in the taiga in the northern part of the country, although it is probably also present in Khovd Province (
Namhaidorzh 1972
).
We observed this species in the dark taiga habitat together with
P. lamed
.
