Remarks.

This ordinary Palaearctic species is distributed from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean ( Danilevsky 2017a), where it mainly inhabits mountain and taiga zones. Lepturobosca virens is ecologically related with coniferous trees ( Pinus , Picea , Abies ) but it is also known from Betula ( Danilevskaya et al. 2009). The species is very abundant locally (e.g., Siberia) ( Cherepanov 1990a).
