Elytroleptus ignitus
Elytroleptus ignitus is a longhorned beetle species in the family Cerambycidae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1884. The species was revised taxonomically in 2013, with E. luteicollis synonymized under this name. It is one of three Elytroleptus species documented as predaceous on lycid beetles (family Lycidae), which it also mimics in appearance. The genus occurs in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central America.
