Cathetopteron
Cathetopteron is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae, and tribe Hemilophini. The genus is monotypic, containing only the single species Cathetopteron amoena described by Hamilton in 1896. Very little information is available about this genus beyond its taxonomic placement.
Cathetopteron amoena
Cathetopteron amoena is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Hamilton in 1896. It is the sole member of its genus, placing it among the many monotypic genera within the diverse subfamily Lamiinae. The species belongs to the tribe Hemilophini, a group characterized by often striking coloration and patterns. Very few observations of this species exist in public databases, suggesting it is either genuinely rare, undercollected, or restricted in distribution.
Dylobolus
Dylobolus is a monotypic genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) containing the single species Dylobolus rotundicollis. The genus was established by James Thomson in 1868. It belongs to the tribe Hemilophini within the subfamily Lamiinae.
Dylobolus rotundicollis
Firefly Longhorn
Dylobolus rotundicollis is a longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Hemilophini. It was described by James Thomson in 1868 and is known from Costa Rica and the United States. The species has been historically classified under the genus Mecas, which remains a synonym. Observations suggest adult activity during summer months in North American regions.
Essostrutha
Essostrutha is a genus of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Hemilophini. It contains two described species: E. binotata (Bates, 1881) and E. laeta (Newman, 1840). The genus was established by Thomson in 1868. Members of this genus are characterized by features typical of the Hemilophini tribe, which includes many brightly colored or patterned species.
Essostrutha laeta
Essostrutha laeta is a longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Newman in 1840. It belongs to the subfamily Lamiinae and tribe Hemilophini. The species is known from a transcontinental range spanning Guatemala, Mexico, and the United States.
Hemierana
Hemierana is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Hemilophini, containing two described species: H. marginata (Fabricius, 1798) and H. rileyi (Heffern et al., 2019). The genus was established by Aurivillius in 1923 and is native to North America. H. marginata was long considered the sole species until the description of H. rileyi in 2019.
Hemierana marginata marginata
Hemierana marginata marginata is a subspecies of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Hemilophini. The taxon was originally described by Fabricius in 1798 and later treated by Linsley & Chemsak in 1995. It is currently listed as a synonym in major taxonomic databases. The species is recorded from North America, specifically the United States. Very little biological information is available for this particular subspecies.
Hemierana rileyi
Hemierana rileyi is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described in 2019. The species belongs to the subfamily Lamiinae and tribe Hemilophini. It is part of a genus of Neotropical flat-faced longhorned beetles. The specific epithet honors an individual named Riley, following the Latinized naming convention for patronyms based on male names.
