Cacophrissus pauper
Cacophrissus pauper is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Henry Walter Bates in 1885. The species belongs to the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Hesperophanini. Very little is known about its biology or ecology beyond its taxonomic classification.
Eucrossus
Eucrossus is a monotypic genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) containing the single species Eucrossus villicornis. The genus was established by LeConte in 1873 and is classified within the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Hesperophanini. The sole species represents a rare example of a genus-level taxon with no known congeners.
Haplidus
Haplidus is a genus of longhorned beetles in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, and tribe Hesperophanini. The genus was established by LeConte in 1873 and contains seven described species distributed in North America. Species in this genus are associated with coniferous hosts, particularly pines. Haplidus testaceus, the type species, has been collected from dead Pinus edulis (Colorado pinyon pine) branches, suggesting larval development in dead or dying pine wood.
Haplidus testaceus
Haplidus testaceus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1873. It belongs to the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Hesperophanini. Field observations indicate this species is associated with dead coniferous wood, particularly pinyon pine. It has been documented in the southwestern United States and represents a relatively poorly known member of its genus.
Hesperanoplium
Hesperanoplium is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) established by Linsley in 1957. The genus contains two described species: H. antennatum (Linsley, 1932) and H. notabile (Knull, 1947). It belongs to the tribe Hesperophanini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The genus is poorly documented in scientific literature, with minimal observational records.
Malobidion
Malobidion is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) described by Schaeffer in 1908. The genus contains three described species distributed in the southwestern United States and Mexico: M. auricome, M. brunneum, and M. grande. Members of this genus belong to the tribe Hesperophanini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The genus is characterized by moderate body size and relatively sparse documentation in scientific literature.
Malobidion brunneum
Malobidion brunneum is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Schaeffer in 1908. It belongs to the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Hesperophanini. The species is known from North and Middle America, with records from the United States and Mexico. Very little specific biological information is documented for this species.
Meganoplium imbelle
Meganoplium imbelle is the sole species in the monotypic genus Meganoplium, a group of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae. Originally described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1881 as Elaphidion imbelle, the species was later transferred to its current genus by Linsley in 1940. It represents a rare example of a genus-level monotypy within the diverse cerambycid fauna of western North America.
Osmidus
Osmidus is a genus of longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae, established by LeConte in 1873. The genus is monotypic, containing only the single species Osmidus guttatus. It belongs to the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Hesperophanini. The genus has been documented in 76 iNaturalist observations.
Stromatium longicorne
Stromatium longicorne is a longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Newman in 1842. It belongs to the tribe Hesperophanini and has been recorded across multiple continents including North America, Oceania, and Southern Asia. The species is relatively well-documented with over 400 observations on iNaturalist. As a member of the genus Stromatium, it is associated with wood-boring habits typical of this group.
Stromatium unicolor
Stromatium unicolor is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, currently treated as a synonym of Stromatium auratum. The species was described by Olivier in 1800. Records indicate occurrence in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Amazonas) and Albania, though the taxonomic status and distribution require verification given its synonymy with S. auratum.
Tylonotus bimaculatus
Ash and Privet Borer
Tylonotus bimaculatus is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Haldeman in 1847. Commonly known as the Ash and Privet Borer, this species is documented across North America with over 1,000 iNaturalist observations. As a member of the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Hesperophanini, it belongs to a group of wood-boring beetles whose larvae typically develop in hardwood trees.
Xeranoplium
Xeranoplium is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) established by Linsley in 1957. The genus comprises eight described species distributed in western North America, particularly California and the Baja California peninsula. Species were described primarily by Chemsak and Linsley between 1932 and 1986. The genus belongs to the tribe Hesperophanini within the subfamily Cerambycinae.
