Tetropium gracilicorne Reitter, 1889 - (fine-horned spruce borer)
This long-horned beetle is native to eastern Asia, including Siberia, Japan, northern parts of China, Korea as well as parts of Mongolia and Kazakhstan. It attacks and breeds in the trunks of larch, fir, spruce and pine trees, resulting in yellowing, wilting, growth reduction and often death of the trees. It is regarded as a quarantine risk to European countries (Marinova-Todorova et al., 2020, Anonymous, 2005) and was already intercepted with logs originating from Siberia.
There is one generation per year. The adult beetle is around 10-15 mm long and black. The elytra are black or brownish.
