Anaglyptus simplicicornis, a Caucasian taxon (occuring in Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Iran, NE Turkey, and South Russia), has been described from "South Russia" by Edmund Reitter in 1906 [▽]. Larvae of this polyphagous species develop in trunks and thick branches of dead broadleaf trees (e.g. Quercus, Fagus, Castanea, Pyrus). Adults, active from late April to August, are diurnal and anthophilous (especially on Rosaceae - Crataegus, Rubus etc.) [❖].

Body length:8 - 13 mm
Life cycle:2 years [?]
Adults in:April - August
Host plant:polyphagous in deciduous trees (e.g. Quercus, Fagus, Castanea, Pyrus)
Distribution:Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Iran, NE Turkey, South Russia


The depicted beetles were collected on blossoming hawthorn (Crataegus sp.) in Norio (ნორიო) environs (Kvemo Kartli region, Georgia) in May 2016. The mounted beetles were collected in Krasnodar krai (Southern Federal District, Russia).
