Casey-1912
Guides
Aneflomorpha
Aneflomorpha is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, and tribe Elaphidiini. The genus was established by Casey in 1912. Species in this genus are primarily nocturnal and have been documented in the southwestern United States and Mexico. They are associated with woody vegetation, particularly oaks and mesquites, and are frequently attracted to ultraviolet and mercury-vapor light stations.
Aneflomorpha seminuda
Aneflomorpha seminuda is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) in the tribe Elaphidiini. It was described by Thomas L. Casey in 1912 and occurs in North America. The species is part of a genus of small to medium-sized cerambycids commonly associated with woody vegetation. Specific biological details remain poorly documented in published literature.
Lioligus pallidus
Lioligus pallidus is a species of pill beetle in the family Byrrhidae, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1912. It is found in North America. Pill beetles (Byrrhidae) are small, compact beetles known for their ability to curl into a ball when disturbed. The specific epithet "pallidus" refers to the pale coloration of this species. Very little is known about the biology and ecology of this particular species.
Listemus
pill beetles
Listemus is a genus of pill beetles in the family Byrrhidae, established by Casey in 1912. The genus contains at least four described species distributed in North America. Pill beetles in this genus share the family characteristic of rolling into a compact ball when disturbed. The genus remains poorly studied, with limited ecological and biological data available.
Litasida
Litasida is a genus of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae, established by Casey in 1912. The genus is poorly documented, with minimal published information available regarding its species composition, ecology, and natural history. It belongs to the diverse beetle family Tenebrionidae, which contains over 20,000 described species worldwide, many of which are adapted to arid environments. The genus appears to be restricted to the Nearctic region based on available distribution records.
Megacyllene snowi
Megacyllene snowi is a species of longhorn beetle in the tribe Clytini, described by Casey in 1912. It belongs to a genus of North American beetles characterized by bold yellow and black banding patterns that resemble wasps. Records indicate it occurs in the southwestern United States and Mexico, with specific observations from the east side of the Chiricahua Mountains in Arizona.
Neomallodon arizonicus
Neomallodon arizonicus is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Prioninae. Originally described by Casey in 1912 under a different name, it was later recognized as a distinct species by Skiles in 1978. The species is found in the southwestern United States and Mexico, with records from Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. It is among the larger species in the genus and is associated with oak woodland habitats, particularly Gambel oak (Quercus gambelii). Adults are attracted to prionic acid lures and exhibit distinctive searching behavior when attempting to locate pheromone sources.
Stenomorpha vigens
Stenomorpha vigens is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Casey in 1912. It belongs to the large genus Stenomorpha, which has undergone significant taxonomic revision, with modern work recognizing 51 valid species and seven subgenera where 37 former species have been synonymized. The species is part of a genus that includes flightless species restricted to specific mountain ranges in Mexico, though the specific characteristics of S. vigens itself remain poorly documented in available literature.
Xylotrechus albonotatus
Xylotrechus albonotatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1912. It belongs to the genus Xylotrechus, a diverse group of wood-boring beetles commonly known as tiger beetles or wasp beetles due to their frequent yellow and black coloration. The specific epithet "albonotatus" refers to white markings, suggesting distinctive pale patterning on the elytra or pronotum. Like other members of the tribe Clytini, adults are likely diurnal and active on host tree trunks.
