Note. Description of the larva in Richter (1952) belongs to unknown buprestid species, possibly Capnodis. Record for Quercus as a host plant (Modarres Awal 1997) is extremely doubtful, known larvae of Cyphosoma develop inside the root tubers of Cyperaceae (Bahillo & Coello 1999; Volkovitsh & Korotyaev 2007).
