Acmaeodera ornatoides
Acmaeodera ornatoides is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Barr in 1972. The species occurs in North America, with documented records from Texas and Oklahoma. Adults have been observed visiting flowers of Coreopsis species and Opuntia engelmannii (Engelmann's pricklypear), suggesting a floral association common among congeners. The species is part of a diverse genus of flower-visiting buprestids.
