Stictoleptura otini, a rare species distributed in Morocco and South Spain, has been described from cedar forests in Jebel Bou Menzel (Middle Atlas, Morocco) as Leptura otini by Paul de Peyerimhoff de Fontenelle in 1949 [▽]. The form with black elytra, S. otini var. peyerimhoffi (depicted mounted beetles with lower index P in the picture), has been described also from Morocco by André Reymond in 1953 [❖]. Larvae of this species, which is close to Stictoleptura (Cribroleptura) stragulata (Germar, 1824), develop in decaying wood of coniferous trees (Abies, Cedrus, Pinus). Adults, active in June and July, are diurnal and anthophilous [✮][✧].
Body length: 10 - 14 mm Life cycle: 2 years Adults in: June - July Host plant: polyphagous in coniferous trees (Abies pinsapo, Cedrus atlantica, Pinus spp.) Distribution: Morocco, South Spain
The depicted mounted beetles were collected in: ♂♂ - Yunquera environs (Sierra de las Nieves, Málaga province, Andalusia, South Spain) on June 11, 2011 and June 26, 2010 (P); ♀ - Grazalema village environs (Sierra del Pinar, Cadiz province, Andalusia, South Spain) on June 7, 2016. The living female beetle was photographed in Peña Blanca environs (La Puebla de Valverde, Gúdar-Javalambre comarca, Teruel province, Aragon, South Spain) on July 15, 2021.Collected by Jerónimo Navarro, Teodoro Alcantara and Daniel Rydzi
