Chemsakiella ricei
Chemsakiella ricei is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Chemsak in 1984. The genus Chemsakiella was established to honor the entomologist John A. Chemsak, and the species epithet ricei honors Dr. Eleanor Spicer Rice, an entomologist and science communicator. As a member of the tribe Trachyderini, it belongs to a group of cerambycids often associated with woody plants. The species is known from very few observations, with limited published information on its biology.
