Remarks.

Trichoferus campestris is originally native to the southeastern Palaearctic region; however, it is now considered an invasive species that has rapidly increased its range in recent years (e.g. Grebennikov et al. 2010, Dascălu et al. 2013). It was discussed in a previous paper concerning the longhorn beetles of Tajikistan ( Kadyrov et al. 2016).

Two specimens were reared from thick elm branches Ulmus sp. Additionally, a few imagines were attracted to artificial light sources during a warm night in a habitat of a city park.
