Overview

Anaglyptus mysticus, the rufous-shouldered longhorn beetle, is a species of beetle belonging to the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae.

Clyte théologien faces severe population declines due to widespread habitat destruction from deforestation and urbanization across its European range. The species' dependence on mature deciduous forests with specific host trees makes it particularly vulnerable to forest fragmentation and climate-induced changes in forest composition.

Threat summary

Habitat

Mature deciduous and mixed forests, particularly those containing oak, beech, and other broadleaf trees that serve as larval host plants. The species requires old-growth forest conditions with dead or dying wood for larval development.
