Species Profile
Tetrops starkii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1859. It has a wide distribution in Europe. It feeds on Fraxinus excelsior and Fraxinus angustifolia.
Tetrops starkii faces significant threats from habitat loss due to deforestation and forest fragmentation across its range. The species' dependence on specific host trees makes it particularly vulnerable to changes in forest composition and structure. Climate change may further impact the availability of suitable breeding habitats and host plant species.
