Xylotrechus ibex is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.[2] It was first described in 1825 by Friedrich August von Gebler as Clytus ibex.[1][2][3]
It is found in China, Korea, Japan, and Russia.[4] In Europe it is found in Germany, Poland, Finland and Belarus.[5]
It has a life cycle of one to two years, with adults appearing from June to August[5]
Recorded host plant families are: Betulaceae (Alnus hirsute;, A. japonica, Betula ermani, B. grossa, B. maximowicziana, Betula platyphylla var. japonica, and Salicaceae (various Populus species).[4] Another listed host is Alnus glutinosa.[5]
IUCN lists this species as "near threatened", because its area of occupancy is unlikely to be much more than 2,000 km² and it has a severely fragmented distribution. Its habitat is very old broad-leaved trees. Such trees are declining. Hence it is thought that the population is decreasing.[6] It is threatened additionally by the creation of transport corridors and by logging.[6]
