Dorcasta
Dorcasta is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Apomecynini, established by Pascoe in 1858. The genus contains eight described species distributed in the Americas. Larvae of at least one species, Dorcasta cinerea, have been documented developing in the stems of buffalo gourd (Cucurbita foetidissima). Adults are associated with various woody and herbaceous host plants, though detailed life history information remains limited for most species.
