Acmaeodera conoidea
Acmaeodera conoidea is a small metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Fall in 1899. It belongs to the 'tubulus-species group' within the genus, characterized by small size (<8 mm), black coloration with yellow maculations on the elytra, and membership in the 'Truncatae' group (species with prosternal margin nearly straight). The species occurs in the south-central and southwestern United States. Like other members of its species group, it is difficult to identify without comparison to determined specimens due to the lack of modern revisionary work on the genus.
Acmaeodera coquilletti
Acmaeodera coquilletti is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae, described by Fall in 1899. It belongs to the large and taxonomically challenging genus Acmaeodera, which contains over 150 species in North America. Like other members of this genus, it is presumed to be a flower-visiting species with larvae that develop in woody plant material, though specific details remain poorly documented.
Acmaeodera labyrinthica
Acmaeodera labyrinthica is a metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It was described by Fall in 1899 and occurs in North America. Like other members of the large genus Acmaeodera, this species exhibits metallic coloration and is associated with woody vegetation. The genus contains over 150 species in North America and is in need of taxonomic revision, with many species difficult to identify without comparison to determined specimens.
Acmaeodera prorsa
Acmaeodera prorsa is a species of metallic wood-boring beetle in the family Buprestidae. It was described by Fall in 1899 and is known to occur in North America. Like other members of the genus, it is a jewel beetle with metallic coloration. Specific details regarding its biology, host associations, and distribution within North America remain poorly documented in the available literature.
Acmaeodera quadriseriata
Acmaeodera quadriseriata is a jewel beetle (family Buprestidae) described by Fall in 1899. It belongs to the large North American genus Acmaeodera, which contains approximately 150 species and is in need of taxonomic revision. The species is part of the morphologically similar 'tubulus-species group' characterized by small size (<8 mm), black coloration with yellow elytral maculations, and membership in the 'Truncatae' group. Identification of this and related species is difficult due to inadequate original descriptions and lack of modern identification keys.
