About Chlorophorus figuratus (Scopoli, 1763)
Chlorophorus figuratus (Scopoli, 1763) reaches a body length of 8–13 millimetres (0.31–0.51 in). It has an elongated, cylindrical body, with a pronotum roughly as wide as its elytra, and elytra that are cut off at the tip. The head, pronotum, and elytra are black or brownish, and the elytra bear various gray hairy stripes. This species is quite similar to Chlorophorus sartor, but C. sartor lacks the gray humeral stripe that C. figuratus has. This widespread beetle is distributed across most of Europe, including Albania, Austria, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland. It also occurs in the eastern Palearctic realm, specifically in Kazakhstan, Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, and Iran. Chlorophorus figuratus beetles live primarily in meadows and sunny forest edges.
