Overview

Dinoptera collaris is species of long-horned beetle in the subfamily Lepturinae.

Dinoptera collaris faces severe population declines due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it extremely vulnerable to ongoing agricultural expansion and climate-induced changes to forest ecosystems.

Threat summary

Habitat

Occupies mature deciduous and mixed forests with dense canopy cover, particularly favoring oak and beech woodlands between 200-800m elevation. Requires dead and decaying hardwood trees for larval development, making it dependent on forests with natural succession processes.

Frequently asked questions

Why is Dinoptera collaris classified as Critically Endangered?
Dinoptera collaris is classified as Critically Endangered — facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild — because population sizes are very small, declining sharply, or restricted to a tiny range. Dinoptera collaris faces severe population declines due to widespread deforestation and habitat fragmentation across its limited range. The species' specialized habitat requirements and small population size make it extremely vulnerable to ongoing agricultural expansion and climate-induced changes to forest ecosystems.
Where does Dinoptera collaris live?
Dinoptera collaris occurs in Albania, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, and Bosnia & Herzegovina (plus 36 other countries). Country-level distribution data is sourced from the IUCN Red List and cross-referenced with GBIF occurrences.
What are the main threats to Dinoptera collaris?
The main threats to Dinoptera collaris are ai-1, ai-2, ai-3, and ai-4. The full IUCN-classified threat record for this species is detailed on the species page.
