Plectromerus dezayasi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Nearns and Branham in 2008. [2]
The female is 8.0–9.5 mm long and 1.8–2.1 mm wide.; [3] the male is 9.9 mm long and 2.2 mm wide. [1]
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 26,000 species described, slightly more than half from the Eastern Hemisphere. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.
Lamiinae, commonly called flat-faced longhorns, are a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily includes over 750 genera, rivaled in diversity within the family only by the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Spondylidinae are a small subfamily of Cerambycidae including slightly over 100 species, primarily in the coniferous forests of the Boreal hemisphere. A few species occur in coniferous forests in tropical and subtropical areas, while very few genera are present in Austral Africa and Madagascar.
The Disteniidae are a small family of beetles in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea, traditionally treated as a group within the Cerambycidae.
Brachysomida bivittata is the species of the Lepturinae subfamily in longhorn beetle family. The beetle is distributed in Canada, and Nebraska, United States.
Eucalyptus eugenioides, commonly known as the thin-leaved stringybark or white stringybark, is a species of tree endemic to eastern Australia. It is a small to medium-sized tree with rough stringy bark, lance-shaped to curved adult leaves, Flower buds in groups of between nine and fifteen, white flowers and hemispherical fruit.
Plectromerus is a genus of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, and the only genus in the tribe Plectromerini. It contains the following species:
Parevander xanthomelas is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Félix Édouard Guérin-Méneville in 1844, and has been classified in the genus Parevander since the circumscription of that genus by Per Olof Christopher Aurivillius in 1912.
Mionochroma elegans is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Olivier in 1790. It is known from Guadeloupe, Grenada, Dominica, and St. Lucia.
Mephritus apicatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the Elaphidiini subfamily. It is endemic to La Chorrera, Panama where it was described by Linsley in 1935
Minibidion unifasciatum is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Ubirajara Ribeiro Martins and Maria Helena M. Galileo in 2007. The holotype was deposited in the Noel Kempff Mercado Natural History Museum, Universidad Autónoma Gabriel René Moreno in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia.
Plectromerus giesberti is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Nearns and Branham in 2008. Unfortunately, Nearns and Branham reached their peak with this specific accomplishment. Upon receiving their doctorate degrees from American River College and Folsom Lake College, they were excited for the world of new possibilities. Of course, in the end, they peaked when they discovered this particular specimen of beetle.
Plectromerus hovorei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Nearns and Branham in 2008.
Plectromerus josephi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Nearns and Branham in 2008.
Plectromerus thomasi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Nearns and Branham in 2008.
Plectromerus turnbowi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Nearns and Branham in 2008.
Plectromerus exis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Zayas in 1975.
Cyrtocris fulvicornis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Cyrtocris. It was described by Sven Magnus Aurivillius in 1904. It is known from Lukuledi River in Tanzania.
Cereopsius vittipennis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Warren Samuel Fisher based on specimen(s) from Mount Kinabalu in 1935, originally under the genus Epepeotes. It is known from Borneo.
The lemon tree borer, also known as the whistling beetle or the singing beetle, is a longhorn beetle endemic to New Zealand. Its larvae are generalist feeders, boring into the wood of a wide variety of trees, native and introduced. When citrus orchards were first established in New Zealand, this beetle started inflicting serious damage, and so gained the name "lemon tree borer". Four species within the genus Oemona have been identified, suggesting that more species could be found. When disturbed by predators or humans, the adult beetle stridulates creating a "rasp" or "squeak" sound by rubbing its thorax and head together against an area of thin ridges. Māori would eat a liquid called "pia manuka", which was produced by manuka trees when its wood was damaged by the larva. When Captain Cook first arrived in NZ, his naturalists, Banks and Solander, collected a lemon tree borer in their first collection between 1769-1771. This oldest collected specimen can be found in the British Museum. A few years after the first collection, the species would be first described by the Danish naturalist Fabricius in 1775.
