Author's comments:
La larva de este insecto es la que se alimenta de madera, realizando galerías elípticas de unos 8 milímetros, moviéndose longitudinalmente en el sentido de las fibras de la madera. Cuando ha cumplido su desarrollo a fase adulto, perfora la madera hacia el exterior produciendo típicos agujeros ovalados. El adulto vive entre 2 y 3 semanas para asegurar la perduración de la especie.
