[1] This species is present in Central and Southern Europe (Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, European Turkey, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, [2] Republic of Moldova, North Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine and former Yugoslavia),[3] and in the Middle East.

[2] The slender and slightly hairy body is yellow to cinnamon-brown, but some darker specimen can be brown or reddish with greenish veins.

The pronotum is almost hexagonal and carries two broad and rounded apophyses in the shape of an obtuse cone.

In warm, sunny regions these assassin bugs live on deciduous trees, especially on oaks (Quercus species), more rarely on shrubs.

[2] They are recorded to prey flatid planthoppers (Metcalfa pruinosa),[1] the larvae of Macrophya punctumalbum, the cricket Arachnocephalus vestitus, but also several diptera.
