Cyrtinus
Cyrtinus is a genus of minute longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) comprising approximately 30 described species distributed across the Americas. The genus is notable for containing some of the smallest members of the family, with adults of certain species measuring only 2–3 millimeters in length. Species occur in eastern North America, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America. The type species, Cyrtinus pygmaeus, is among the smallest North American cerambycids and exhibits effective ant mimicry.
Cyrtinus beckeri
Cyrtinus beckeri is a minute longhorned beetle species in the subfamily Lamiinae, described by Howden in 1960. It is known from the United States, where it has been documented feeding on Bigtooth maple (Acer grandidentatum). Like other members of the genus Cyrtinus, it is among the smallest cerambycids, exhibiting ant-mimicking characteristics.
