Neoptychodes trilineatus [71] is a species of flat-faced longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae. [71] [72] [73]
Neoptychodes trilineatus can reach a length of about 21–35 millimetres (0.83–1.38 in) in males, of about 19–31 millimetres (0.75–1.22 in) in the females. The body coloration is quite variable through the wide range of this species. Usually the background is greyish or dark brown with orange-brown elytral spots and three white or yellow longitudinal bands (hence the Latin name trilineatus). Main host plants are Ficus carica , Morus microphylla , Salix sp. and Alnus sp.
This species can be found in Belize, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Nicaragua, Suriname, United States and Venezuela. [71]
Johan Christian Fabricius was a Danish zoologist, specialising in "Insecta", which at that time included all arthropods: insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others. He was a student of Carl Linnaeus, and is considered one of the most important entomologists of the 18th century, having named nearly 10,000 species of animals, and established the basis for the modern insect classification.
