Knulliana is a monotypic genus of longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) containing the single species Knulliana cincta, commonly known as the banded hickory borer. The genus was established by Linsley in 1962 and is classified within the tribe Bothriospilini. The sole species ranges across the eastern half of North America from Canada to the Bahamas and Mexico, with one subspecies extending into the Sonoran Desert. Adults are associated with hickory and oak trees, where larvae develop as wood-borers.
