Name

Brachyta rosti baksaniense Lazarev, 2010: 193

Type locality: Kabardino - Balkaria, Baksan Canyon, Tyrnyauz environs, 2200-2400 m.

Holotype: coll. Danilevsky. male, 2 labels : 1) Balkaria, Tyrnyauz, 2200-2400, 04.06.1988, М. Danilevsky; 2)"Holotypus Brachyta rosti baksaniense ssp.n. Lazarev det., 2009".

Bionomy. Larvae develop in the soil feeding on roots of herbaceous plats; food plants unknown; pupation in soil. Imagoes are active in June-July. М. L. DANILEVSKY observed numerous imagoes in Baksan Canyon above Tymyauz-city at about 2200- 2400 m above the level of the sea in the beginning of June. А lot of beetles were crawling and mating among dry grass, sometimes flying between snow areas. No flowering plants or new green grass were observed in the locality that time. It seems, females do not need in food before oviposition.
