Species Profile

Pogonocherus decoratus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Léon Fairmaire in 1855. It has a very wide distribution throughout Europe. It measures between 4 and 6 mm. It feeds on Pinus sylvestris.

Pogonocherus decoratus, a longhorn beetle species, faces severe population decline primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of its specialized forest ecosystems. The species' dependence on specific host trees and old-growth forest conditions makes it particularly vulnerable to logging, forest fragmentation, and changes in forest management practices.
