Casey-1924

Guides

  • Aneflomorpha rectilinea

    Aneflomorpha rectilinea is a longhorn beetle species in the tribe Elaphidiini, described by Thomas L. Casey in 1924. It belongs to a genus of small to medium-sized cerambycids found primarily in North America. The species is rarely encountered in collections and poorly documented in the literature.

  • Aneflus sonoranus

    Aneflus sonoranus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Casey in 1924. It belongs to the tribe Elaphidiini, a diverse group of small to medium-sized cerambycids. Records indicate presence in the southwestern United States and Mexico, with observations from Arizona and the Sonoran region. The genus Aneflus comprises multiple species distributed across North America, many of which are associated with woody vegetation in arid and semi-arid environments.

  • Bradycellus veronianus

    Bradycellus veronianus is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae, first described by Casey in 1924. It belongs to the genus Bradycellus, a group of small to medium-sized carabid beetles commonly found in North America. The species is documented from the United States, though specific details about its biology and ecology remain limited.

  • Harpalus obnixus

    Harpalus obnixus is a species of ground beetle in the subfamily Harpalalinae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1924. As a member of the genus Harpalus, it belongs to one of the largest genera within the Carabidae family. The species is documented from North America, with records from both Canada and the United States. Like other ground beetles in this genus, it is presumed to be a ground-dwelling predator, though specific ecological details remain poorly documented in the available literature.

  • Helops confluens

    Helops confluens is a species of darkling beetle in the family Tenebrionidae, described by Casey in 1924. As a member of the genus Helops, it belongs to a group of beetles commonly found in arid and semi-arid habitats across North America. The genus Helops is part of the diverse darkling beetle family, which contains over 20,000 described species worldwide. Information specific to H. confluens appears limited in the available literature.

  • Oberea deficiens

    Oberea deficiens is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1924. It belongs to the genus Oberea, a group of relatively slender, elongate beetles commonly associated with woody plants. The species is known from multiple provinces across Canada. Information regarding its biology, host plants, and detailed morphology remains limited in published literature.

  • Phrypeus

    Phrypeus is a monotypic genus of ground beetles (Carabidae: Trechinae: Sinozolini) containing the single species Phrypeus rickseckeri. The genus was described by Casey in 1924 and is considered taxonomically isolated within the supertribe Trechitae. Its phylogenetic relationships remain obscure; larval morphology studies have failed to link it definitively with any other tribe. The first-instar larva has been described and illustrated.

  • Sphaenothecus cylindricollis

    Sphaenothecus cylindricollis is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Trachyderini. Described by Casey in 1924, this species belongs to a genus of trachyderine cerambycids distributed in North America. The genus Sphaenothecus contains species that are typically associated with flowering plants, where adults are often found feeding on pollen and nectar.
