Aegomorphus morrisii
Aegomorphus morrisii is a species of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Lamiinae. The species was described by Uhler in 1855 and has been considered rare and poorly known, with few specimens historically available in collections. It has been documented in Mississippi, where it was found in Noxubee National Wildlife Refuge. The species belongs to a genus of moderate-sized longhorn beetles, though specific ecological details remain limited due to its apparent rarity.
Aegomorphus quadrigibbus
Four-humped Longhorned Beetle
Aegomorphus quadrigibbus is a longhorned beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, originally described by Thomas Say in 1831 as Acanthoderes quadrigibba. The species is characterized by four prominent tubercles on the pronotum and distinctive heart-shaped elytral patterning. Historically associated with hardwood forests in eastern North America, it has recently emerged as an agricultural pest in Mexican Persian lime orchards. The species was transferred to the genus Aegomorphus by Yanega in 1996.
Oplosia
Oplosia is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Acanthoderini. The genus contains three described species: Oplosia cinerea, Oplosia nubila, and Oplosia suvorovi. Members of this genus belong to the subfamily Lamiinae, one of the most diverse lineages within the longhorn beetle family. The genus was established by Mulsant in 1862.
Oplosia nubila
Oplosia nubila is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1862. It belongs to the subfamily Lamiinae and tribe Acanthoderini. The species is native to North America, with confirmed records from Canadian provinces including Manitoba, Ontario, and Québec. As with other members of its genus, it is a wood-boring beetle whose larvae develop in dead or decaying wood.
Peritapnia
Peritapnia is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Acanthoderini. The genus was established by Horn in 1894 and contains four described species distributed in western North America. Members are small to medium-sized cerambycids with affinities to other Acanthoderini genera.
