Leptura is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Lepturinae. Species in this genus are predominantly found in the Holarctic region and are recognized as important pollination beetles in Eurasia and North America. Members typically have filiform antennae and visit flowers for feeding. The genus has been subject to taxonomic revision, with some species historically placed in Leptura now assigned to related genera such as Stictoleptura and others.
Trigonarthris
flower longhorn beetles
Trigonarthris is a genus of flower longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) established by Haldeman in 1847. The name derives from Greek 'trigonon' (triangle) and 'arthron' (joint), referring to a triangular joint structure. The genus contains three recognized species: T. atrata, T. minnesotana, and T. proxima. Members are diurnal flower visitors, though individual species remain poorly documented biologically.
Xestoleptura
Xestoleptura is a genus of flower longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae, established by Casey in 1913. The genus contains approximately 10 species distributed primarily in North America. Members are classified within the subfamily Lepturinae and tribe Lepturini, a group commonly associated with visiting flowers for feeding and mating.
