This species is similar to M. sartor, but differs with dense yellowish hair on the tip of elytrae. Antennae of males are 1.5-2 times longer than the body, and those of females are slightly longer than the body. The egg is elongated, white, 3.8-5.5 mm long. The larva is legless, about 60 mm long. The pupa is 30-35 mm long. Source: See weblink The Atlas of Forest Insect Pests Note: Without examination of type material G. Sama (2002) proposed to regard Monochamus rosenmuelleri = Monochamus urussovi, instead of the generally accepted synonymy by Plavilstshikov (1958) of Monochamus sartor = Monochamus rosenmuelleri. (Svacha's opinion, that it can not be M. sartor, as it was proposed by Breuning, 1961, because M. sartor is absent in the region). According to Plavilstshikov (1958), M. sartor = M. rosenmuelleri, and M. sartor is very common in the region. Sama G., 2002. Cerambycidae, pp. 94–96.
