Species Profile
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.
