• Xylotrechus nitidus

  Xylotrechus nitidus is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by George Henry Horn in 1860. It belongs to the tribe Clytini, a group commonly known as the "round-necked longhorns." The species epithet "nitidus" (Latin for "shining" or "polished") likely refers to the beetle's glossy appearance. This species is part of a large and diverse genus containing over 200 species worldwide, many of which are wood-boring beetles associated with various hardwood trees.
