Alcidion umbraticum is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, and the only species in the genus Alcidion. It was described by Jacquelin du Val in 1857. [1]
Endemism is the ecological state of a species being unique to a defined geographic location, such as an island, nation, country or other defined zone, or habitat type; organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere. For example, the orange-breasted sunbird is exclusively found in the fynbos vegetation zone of southwestern South Africa and the glacier bear is endemic to Southeast Alaska. The extreme opposite of an endemic species is one with a cosmopolitan distribution, having a global or widespread range. An alternative term for a species that is endemic is precinctive, which applies to species that are restricted to a defined geographical area.
An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching and invasive species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbid hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some endangered species are the target of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration.
In biology, a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined.
Acanthocinini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Blanchard in 1845.
Alcidion is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Alcidion aestimabilis is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Melzer in 1934, and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion albosparsus is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Melzer in 1934, and is known from Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina.
Alcidion alienum is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Melzer in 1932, and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion apicalis is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Bates in 1864, and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion chryseis is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Bates in 1864, and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion dominicum is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Fisher in 1926, and is the holotype is from Dominica. A similar species occurs in the Dominican Republic and the species is therefore often wrongly cited to occur in the Dominican Republic too.
Alcidion humeralis is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Perty in 1832, and is found in Mexico, Panama, Samer, and Bolivia.

Alcidion partitum is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by White in 1855, and is known from Brazil and French Guiana.
Alcidion quadriguttatum is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1920 and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion ramulorum is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Bates in 1864, and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion sannio is a species of longhorn beetle of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Ernst Friedrich Germar in 1824 and is known from Brazil.
Alcidion sulphurifer is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by White in 1855, and is known from Brasil, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia.
