Hippopsis
Hippopsis is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Agapanthiinae. The genus was established in 1825 and contains multiple species distributed primarily in the Neotropical region. One species, Hippopsis lemniscata, has been documented exhibiting thanatosis (death-feigning behavior) when disturbed. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated body form typical of the subfamily.
Hippopsis lemniscata
Ribbon Longhorn Beetle
A longhorn beetle species in the subfamily Agapanthiinae, described by Fabricius in 1801. The species has been documented exhibiting death-feigning (thanatosis) behavior when disturbed. Observations suggest activity in summer months in North American grassland and woodland edge habitats.
Spalacopsis
Spalacopsis is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Agapanthiinae. The genus contains approximately 17 described species distributed across the Americas, from the southern United States through Central America to South America. Species were described between 1829 and 1973, with several named by Tyson in the early 1970s. The genus is part of the tribe Agapanthiini, a group of cerambycids often associated with herbaceous vegetation.
Spalacopsis filum
Spalacopsis filum is a species of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) first described by Johann Christoph Friedrich Klug in 1829. The species belongs to the subfamily Agapanthiinae and is native to the Caribbean region. Limited biological information is available for this species.
Spalacopsis filum costulata
Spalacopsis filum costulata is a subspecies of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Casey in 1913. It belongs to the subfamily Agapanthiinae and tribe Agapanthiini. As a cerambycid, it is characterized by elongated antennae, though specific morphological traits distinguishing this subspecies from the nominate form remain poorly documented in accessible literature.
Spalacopsis stolata
Spalacopsis stolata is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Newman in 1842. It belongs to the subfamily Agapanthiinae and is native to the continental United States. The species is known from limited occurrence records and sparse observational data.
Spalacopsis suffusa
Spalacopsis suffusa is a species of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) first described by Newman in 1842. It belongs to the subfamily Agapanthiinae and tribe Agapanthiini. The species is known from North America, with presence confirmed in the United States. Available records indicate it is a rarely observed species, with only four documented observations in iNaturalist.
Spalacopsis texana
Spalacopsis texana is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1891. It belongs to the subfamily Agapanthiinae and tribe Agapanthiini. The species is known from the southern United States and Mexico. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with woody vegetation, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented.
