Purpuricenus globulicollis
Overview
A detailed profile for this species is sourced from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as assessments become available.
Purpuricenus globulicollis faces severe pressure from deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range in Southeast Asian tropical forests. The species' dependence on specific host tree species makes it particularly vulnerable to selective logging practices that target valuable timber trees. Urban expansion and agricultural conversion continue to reduce the remaining forest patches where this longhorn beetle can complete its lifecycle.
Habitat
This longhorn beetle inhabits primary and secondary tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia, where it depends on specific hardwood tree species for larval development. The species requires mature forest environments with adequate canopy cover and its preferred host trees for successful reproduction.
