Typocerus deceptus is a species of flower longhorn in the family Cerambycidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It is found in North America. [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.
The Disteniidae are a small family of beetles in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea, traditionally treated as a group within the Cerambycidae.
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.
The cottonwood borer is a species of longhorn beetle found in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains that feeds on cottonwood trees. It is one of the largest insects in North America, with lengths reaching 40 millimetres (1.6 in) and widths, 12 mm (0.47 in). It is the only species in the genus Plectrodera.
Brachysomida bivittata is the species of the Lepturinae subfamily in longhorn beetle family. The beetle is distributed in Canada, and Nebraska, United States.
Saperda carcharias is a species of longhorn beetle.
Sternidius is a genus of flat-faced longhorns in the family of beetles known as Cerambycidae. There are at least 20 described species in Sternidius.
Caraphia is a genus of longhorned beetles in the family Cerambycidae, found in Central America.
Strangalepta is a genus containing only one species, Strangalepta abbreviata, a longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Typocerus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Acmaeopsoides rufula is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Acmaeopsoides. This beetle is distributed in Canada, and United States.
Sachalinobia is a genus of flower longhorns in the beetle family Cerambycidae. There are at least two described species in Sachalinobia.
Chrotoma is a genus of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There is only one described species in Chrotoma, C. dunniana.
Trachyderini is a tribe of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are at least 140 genera and 650 described species in Trachyderini.
Moneilema armatum is a species of flat-faced longhorn in the family of beetles known as Cerambycidae. It is found in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. The flightless beetles often feed on prickly pear cactus, boring into the stems and roots.
Dorcasina matthewsii is a species of flower longhorn in the beetle family Cerambycidae. It is found in North America and was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1869.
Nitidulinae is a subfamily of sap-feeding beetles in the family Nitidulidae. There are about 17 genera and at least 70 described species in Nitidulinae.
Nothopleurus lobigenis, the southwestern stump borer, is a species of long-horned beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is found in Central America and North America.
Prionus arenarius is a species of long-horned beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is found in North America.
Trichoferus campestris, the velvet longhorned beetle, is a species of long-horned beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is native to the southeastern palearctic, from Japan through to Armenia and southeastern European Russia, and is an invasive species in North America. The velvet longhorned beetle has begun to expand its range within Europe as well, spreading west.
