Desmiphora
Desmiphora is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) comprising approximately 50 species distributed across the New World tropics and subtropics. The genus is characterized by distinctive fasciculate tufts (pencils) of erect or suberect hairs on the body. Most species occur in Brazil, with some extending northward to southern Texas. The genus was established by Audinet-Serville in 1835 and includes two subgenera: Antenniphora and Desmiphora.
