Pachyta lamed liturata
Kirby, 1837
Pachyta lamed liturata is a of in the . It belongs to a Holarctic associated with coniferous forests. The parent Pachyta lamed has a transcontinental distribution across northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. As a member of the Lepturinae, it shares the flattened body form typical of flower-visiting longhorned beetles, though specific ecological details for this subspecies remain poorly documented.

Taxonomic note
Pachyta lamed liturata was described by Kirby in 1837. The Pachyta lamed has an unusually complex taxonomic with multiple synonyms across its Holarctic range, reflecting both morphological variability and early descriptions from different continents.
Holarctic distribution context
Pachyta lamed is one of several Lepturinae with transcontinental distributions, including Tragosoma depsarium, Asemum striatum, Arhopalus rusticus, Acmaeops pratensis, and Judolia sexmaculata. Most of these are associated with coniferous , suggesting a shared that may have facilitated range expansion across Beringia.
