Anelaphus dentatus
twig pruner
Anelaphus dentatus is a species of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Chemsak in 1962. The species belongs to the twig pruner genus Anelaphus, whose larvae develop within living branches of deciduous trees and characteristically prune the branch internally before pupation. The cut end of pruned branches is distinctive and can be used to detect larval presence. Like other members of its genus, it is associated with oak (Quercus) hosts.

Anelaphus formerly-parallelus-maybe-undescribed
A putative undescribed species within the genus Anelaphus, closely related to or possibly distinct from Anelaphus parallelus. The informal designation suggests morphological similarity to A. parallelus but with characteristics that may warrant separate species status pending formal taxonomic description. Members of this genus are woodboring beetles commonly known as twig pruners.

Anoplodera
Anoplodera is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Lepturini, established by Mulsant in 1839. The genus is divided into four subgenera: Anoplodera, Anoploderomorpha, Falsojudolia, and Robustanoplodera. Species occur across the Palearctic and Nearctic regions, with notable diversity in Asia. The North American species A. pubera (Say, 1826) has been treated as the sole species in the genus in some older treatments, though this classification has been revised.

Anoplophora glabripennis
Asian longhorned beetle, starry sky beetle, sky beetle, ALB
Anoplophora glabripennis, commonly known as the Asian longhorned beetle or starry sky beetle, is a highly polyphagous wood-boring beetle native to eastern China, Japan, and Korea. It has become a devastating invasive pest in North America and Europe, where it attacks and kills a broad range of hardwood trees. The beetle was first detected in the United States in Brooklyn, New York in 1996, likely arriving via solid wood packaging material. Eradication efforts have focused on tree removal and destruction, though biocontrol methods including entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes have been studied as potential management tools.

Willow Root Borer
Archodontes melanopus aridus is a subspecies of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae: Prioninae) described by Casey in 1924. It is part of the Mallodonina subtribe within the Macrotomini tribe. The subspecies epithet 'aridus' suggests association with arid environments. Based on its placement within Archodontes melanopus, it likely shares the common name 'Willow Root Borer' with the nominate subspecies, indicating larval development in willow roots.

Archodontes melanopus serrulatus
A subspecies of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Prioninae, native to North America. Described by LeConte in 1854, this beetle belongs to a genus characterized by large mandibles and wood-boring larvae. The subspecific epithet 'serrulatus' refers to small serrations, likely describing a diagnostic feature of the mandibles or elytra.

Arhopalus
burnt pine longhorn beetle (A. ferus), black pine sawyer (A. rusticus)
Arhopalus is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Spondylidinae: Asemini) distributed across the Northern Hemisphere, with several species introduced to the Southern Hemisphere as invasive pests of conifers. The genus comprises approximately 20 described species, with A. rusticus and A. ferus being the most extensively studied due to their economic importance. Species develop in dead or fire-damaged conifer wood, with some exhibiting strong attraction to burnt pine volatiles. Several species produce male-emitted aggregation-sex pheromones containing fuscumol and geranylacetone. Invasive populations in New Zealand, Australia, South America, and South Africa require monitoring at ports and sawmills for timber export compliance.

Arhopalus asperatus
Arhopalus asperatus is a longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1859. Adults range from 18 to 33 mm in length, with antennae measuring approximately 50-75% of body length. The species occurs across western North America, with records from Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba) through the western United States.

Arhopalus productus
New House Borer
Arhopalus productus is a longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, commonly known as the New House Borer. It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1850. The species is attracted to fire and has been observed at night near campfires and on recently dead coniferous trees. It is distributed across western North America, including the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, and Manitoba, and extends into the southwestern United States.

Arhopalus rusticus
rust pine borer
Arhopalus rusticus is a longhorned beetle (Cerambycidae: Spondylinae) native to coniferous forests of the Northern Hemisphere. Adults are nocturnal and attracted to light, hiding under bark during daylight. The species has been introduced to Australia, New Zealand, and South America through global trade and is considered a significant forestry pest. It is a suspected vector of the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, though research indicates its oviposition behavior does not facilitate nematode transmission. Males produce an aggregation-sex pheromone, (S)-fuscumol, which has potential applications for detection and monitoring.

Asemum
Asemum is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Spondylinae, described by Eschscholtz in 1830. Species are primarily associated with coniferous forests and share the pyrophilous (fire-loving) trait of seeking out burned or fire-killed trees. The genus has a Holarctic distribution, with notable range expansion documented for A. tenuicorne into northern Europe. A. striatum, the type species, is among the most widespread and serves as host for specialized tylenchid nematode parasites.

Asemum nitidum
Asemum nitidum is a species of longhorned beetle (Cerambycidae) described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1873. It is native to parts of North America, with distribution records from Canada (British Columbia) and the United States. As a member of the genus Asemum, it belongs to a group of wood-boring beetles that develop in coniferous trees. The species has been documented through 286 iNaturalist observations, indicating it is encountered with some regularity by naturalists, though detailed biological studies appear limited.
