Anastrangalia dubia, in coloration very variable Western Palaearctic species, has been described from Carniola (Slovenia) as Leptura dubia by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1763 [▽]. Its nominotypic subspecies A. dubia dubia, a typical inhabitant of submontane and montane coniferous forests, is widespread from the Iberian Peninsula to Turkey with an isolated population in Algeria. Larval development in dead thicker and wetter coniferous wood, mostly without bark - in lying trunks, uprooted trees and lower parts of standing dead trees, but also in dead wood of damaged living standing trees ("bald areas"). Pupation takes place not deep under the surface of the wood, it overwinters in the larval stage. Life cycle 2 years. Adults, active from May to August, are diurnal and anthophilous (Apiaceae, Aruncus, Leucanthemum etc.)[✮][❖][✳].
