Chlorophorus trifasciatus, a species widely distributed in whole Mediterranean region, has been described from Portugal as Callidium trifasciatum by Johann Christian Fabricius in 1781 [▽]. Ch. trifasciatus, a typical inhabitant of uncultivated and ruderal areas, forest-steppes, generally xerothermic localities of rather steppe character, belongs among the Clytini tribe taxa not developing in the above-ground parts of woody plants but in the roots of legumes (Fabaceae).
Body length: 6 - 12 mm Life cycle: 2 years Adults in: May - July Host plant: larvae in roots of Fabaceae (Ononis, Dorycnium) Distribution: S and SE Europe, North Africa, Turkey, Near East
