Derobrachus is a genus of beetles in the Cerambycidae. It contains the following species: [2]
Prionus Geoffroy, 1762 is a genus of long-horned beetles of the subfamily Prioninae, tribe Prionini, widespread in Europe, Asia and North America.
Derobrachus geminatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. For over 100 years, this species was confused with the related species Derobrachus hovorei; essentially all literature prior to 2007 therefore uses the name geminatus for the wrong species, while the true geminatus was known under the junior name Derobrachus forreri. It is an uncommon species but fairly large, reaching 70 mm in length, that can be found from southern Arizona and Texas to Sinaloa and Baja California Sur.
Eburia is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae.
Parandra is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Physopleurus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Strongylaspis is a genus of beetles in the longhorn beetle family, Cerambycidae.
Coleoxestia is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Eburodacrys is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Chrysoprasis is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Leptocometes is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Derobrachus drumonti is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Santos-Silva in 2007.
Derobrachus hovorei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, known variously as the palo verde beetle, palo verde root borer, or palo verde borer beetle. For over 100 years, this species was confused with the related species Derobrachus geminatus, and only recognized and given its own name by Santos-Silva in 2007; essentially all literature prior to 2007 therefore incorrectly uses the name geminatus for this species. It is a longhorn beetle native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico which derives its common name from the palo verde tree, and it is one of the largest beetles in North America, reaching up to three and a half inches in length. Adults are black or brown in colour, have long antennae, and spines on the thorax. They have wings and can fly, albeit awkwardly at times. Mature beetles emerge in the summer to mate. Adults do not eat, and rely solely on their energy reserves until they die in about one month. While not harmful to humans, they can bite in self-defense.
Derobrachus lingafelteri is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Santos-Silva in 2007.
Derobrachus wappesi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Santos-Silva in 2007.

Derobrachus longicornis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1872.
