• Dorcasta cinerea

  Dorcasta cinerea is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Apomecynini) described by George Henry Horn in 1860. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States and Mexico. A key biological trait is its larval association with buffalo gourd (Cucurbita foetidissima), a host plant relationship that distinguishes it from many cerambycids. Adults are active in spring, with collecting records from early May in Oklahoma.
