Stephanopachys species are illusive with only few recent records known from Latvia. In order to clarify distribution pattern of these protected beetles, an innovative and highly efficient attracting / collecting methodology to be used.
I am looking for publications or raw data on attractant pheromones for Stephanopachys species. Any help or experience from the international scientific community is greatly appreciated.
Hello Dmitry:
I revised the Pherobase Database of Pheromones and Semiochemicals and there is nothing for Stephanopachys spp. This is the link of Pherobase if you want to check out. However there are some chemical compunds selective for Bostrichidae in general, that you can try for Stephanopachys.

Good day Dmitry,
Some useful info: a pheromone section is available with references in the link below

Any future plans to apply these pheromones for control purpose?

Below link provides a section for Stephanopachys species, using the analogy might help too?

not really an answer but more a comment: interesting references, some of which I was not aware of (North American especially). I would just add that In Croatia, during the S. substriatus N2K status assessment we had difficulties even finding any in old collections....at the moment it is declared "not known to exist"....which is pretty improbable....even the one recent record for neighboring Slovenia is "one specimen in Ips typographus pheromone trap as a by-catch ..."....tough species if you ask me ! Please share if you have any advance in future search for this species....
