This genus of long-horned beetles contains around 50 species which are mainly found in Europe, northern Asia and North America. Several are considered to be pests of forest and fruit trees like poplar, linden, or apple. For example, the small poplar borer, Saperda populnea, bores into polar and willow branches in Europe and Asia.
