Appearance

Rhopalophora serripennis is a black beetle with a red prothorax. Its body is long and narrow and between 5-9 mm in length. Males and females appear similar, although only males have white pubescence on their abdomen. R. serripennis may be mistaken for R. punctatipennis and R. miniatocollis, two similar species. [2]

Range

Rhopalophora serripennis is found in central and southwestern Mexico, as far north as Nayarit and as far south as Chiapas. [2]

Lepturinae Subfamily of beetles

Lepturinae, the lepturine beetles, is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae), containing about 150 genera worldwide. This lineage is most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Until recently the subfamily Necydalinae was included within the lepturines, but this has been recently recognized as a separate subfamily. Nine tribes are usually recognized today, with a tenth, Caraphiini, created in 2016. A few genera are of uncertain placement within the subfamily.
