Typical habitats of Dorcadion (Cribridorcadion) semenovi semenovi are scanty grasslands in clayey foothills and river valleys at l 600 - 2 000 m, in river valleys penetrating into mountains up to altitude 3 200 m. Larvae feed on roots of various grass species (Poaceae), including fescue (Festuca spp.). Adults feed on above-ground parts of the same plant species. In warm sunny weather, males are actively moving in search of virgin females. Females are less active and usually staying under plants. Depending on the altitude, adults are active in morning only or up to evening. [❖]
