On May 10th, 2009, one single specimen of the longhorn beetle Oberea pupillata was observed in the Rhine river plain near Grißheim (South Baden). The stenotopic, silvicolous species prefers clearances and the skirts of the forest. The larval development takes 2–3 years and takes place in Lonicera. In Central Europe, O. pupillata is found only very sporadically and seldom, from the Northern Federal States of Germany no records are known (Germany RL 3). O. pupillata can be easily distinguished from the other species of the genus by the characteristic yellow elytral spots next to the scutellum.
