The developmental biology of the relict longhorn beetle Callipogon relictus Semenov, 1899 was studied from egg to adult in the laboratory for the first time. The molting dynamics and morphometric characteristics of all the larval instars were determined. The location of larvae within the tree trunk was investigated by nondestructive modern methods. The reproductive behavior and the process of oviposition are described. Individual development of the species under laboratory conditions, at constant temperature and humidity, took 44 months, suggesting that in the nature it extends over at least four years.
