Anthaxia dichroa
Anthaxia dichroa is a metallic wood-boring beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Bílý in 1991. It is found in North America and has been documented in ethanol-only bait traps in Illinois, where it occurs alongside related Anthaxia species. The genus Anthaxia includes species associated with Cercocarpus (mountain mahogany) and other woody hosts, though specific host relationships for A. dichroa remain unconfirmed.
Centrodera spurca
yellow Douglas-fir borer
Centrodera spurca, commonly known as the yellow Douglas-fir borer, is a species of flower longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is native to North America, with records from western Canada (British Columbia, Alberta) and the western United States. The species has been documented in coniferous forest habitats, particularly in association with Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii). A notable disjunct population occurs in the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico, separated from the main Pacific Coast distribution.
Eburia haldemani
Ivory-marked Longhorn
Eburia haldemani is a long-horned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, distributed across Central and North America. It is frequently confused with the eastern Eburia quadrigeminata (ivory-marked beetle), but differs in lacking prominent spines at the elytral apex and having less elongated basal markings. Adults are attracted to ethanol and wine-baited traps, and larvae develop in dead or dying wood of Celtis reticulata (net-leaved hackberry) and related hosts. The species has been collected in Oklahoma, Texas, and adjacent regions, with adults active from late spring through late summer.
Gymnetina cretacea
Gymnetina cretacea is a species of scarab beetle in the family Scarabaeidae, subfamily Cetoniinae (flower chafers). The species was described by LeConte in 1863. A recently described subspecies, G. c. sundbergi, is endemic to the Organ Mountains of southern New Mexico. Adults have been captured in sweet red wine-baited traps in juniper/oak/pinyon woodland habitat.
Knulliana cincta cincta
Knulliana cincta cincta is a subspecies of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Lingafelter and Horner in 1993. The taxon is currently recognized as a synonym in some databases. It has been documented in North America, with records from California and Mexico. The species has been captured in bait traps using ethanol and wine mixtures in field studies.
Knulliana cincta spinifera
A cerambycid beetle subspecies in the family Cerambycidae, originally described by Fabricius in 1793. The subspecific epithet 'spinifera' refers to spiny characteristics. Records indicate presence in North America including Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The taxon has been documented in ethanol/red wine bait traps in Oklahoma and Missouri, often in association with xeric prairie and glade habitats.
Psyrassa
Psyrassa is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Elaphidiini. Species in this genus are small to medium-sized cerambycids with elongated bodies. The genus was established by Francis Pascoe in 1866 and is distributed in the Americas. Members are attracted to fermented bait traps, suggesting adult feeding on sugary or fermenting substances.
Strangalia luteicornis
Yellow-horned Flower Longhorn Beetle
Strangalia luteicornis is a species of flower longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is found across North America, with records from Canada (Ontario, Québec) and the United States. The species has been observed mating on flowers of Hydrangea arborescens and Saururus cernuus, with females consuming pollen from the latter. It is attracted to ethanol/red wine bait traps and has been collected in xeric dolomite prairie remnants and dry-mesic upland deciduous forest habitats.
