Anthribus fasciatus

Local name: Antribe marbré

Unknown

Overview

Anthribus fasciatus is a species of fungus weevil in the family Anthribidae. It occurs widely in Europe and is present in the Near East and North Africa; it has been introduced to North America. It preys on Eulecanium tiliae.

Anthribus fasciatus faces significant pressure from habitat loss and degradation as forests are cleared for agriculture and urban development. The species' dependence on specific host plants and dead wood substrates makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in forest composition and structure, while climate change may further alter the availability of suitable microhabitats.

Threat summary

Habitat

This weevil species inhabits deciduous and mixed forests, particularly areas with abundant dead and decaying wood where it breeds and develops. It is associated with various tree species and requires forest environments with sufficient woody debris and fungal growth substrates.
