Ecyrus is a genus of longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) in the subfamily Lamiinae, tribe Pogonocherini. The genus was established by LeConte in 1852 and contains eight recognized species distributed in North America, primarily in the southwestern United States and Mexico. Adults are attracted to ultraviolet light.

Ecyrus dasycerus
Rough-coated Longhorned Beetle
Ecyrus dasycerus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Thomas Say in 1827. It is known from North America, with records from the United States and Mexico. The species exhibits two recognized subspecies: the nominate E. d. dasycerus and E. d. floridanus described by Linsley in 1935. Like other members of the subfamily Lamiinae, it is a wood-associated beetle whose larvae develop in dead or dying woody plants.

Spider Longhorned Beetle, Cassava Borer, Almácigo Borer
Lagocheirus araneiformis is a longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, described by Linnaeus in 1767. It reaches 20–28 mm in length with grey-brown coloration. The species is widely distributed across the Americas and has been recorded as a pest of cassava and sugarcane. Multiple subspecies have been described from Caribbean islands and other regions.

Lagocheirus obsoletus
plumeria long-horn borer
Lagocheirus obsoletus is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae. It has been recorded from the southwestern United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Cuba, and Jamaica. The species is commonly known as the plumeria long-horn borer, suggesting an association with Plumeria plants.

Leptostylopsis planidorsus
flat-faced longhorn
Leptostylopsis planidorsus is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by LeConte in 1873 and occurs in North America. The species belongs to the tribe Acanthocinini, a group of small to medium-sized longhorn beetles often associated with woody plants.

Leptostylopsis terraecolor
Leptostylopsis terraecolor is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, described by Horn in 1880. It is one of approximately 30 species in the genus Leptostylopsis, a group of flat-faced longhorns distributed primarily in the Americas. The species has been documented across North America with over 400 observation records. Like other members of its tribe Acanthocinini, it is associated with woody vegetation, though specific ecological details remain limited in published literature.

Leptostylus
flatfaced longhorn beetles
Leptostylus is a genus of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae, established by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852. The genus contains approximately 70 described species distributed primarily in the Americas, from the United States through Central and South America to Argentina. Species in this genus are characterized by their cryptic, bark-mimicking appearance and are typically associated with dead or dying woody vegetation. The genus is part of the tribe Acanthocinini, one of the largest tribes in Cerambycidae.

Lepturges
Lepturges is a genus of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Lamiinae, established by Henry Walter Bates in 1863. The genus contains exclusively Neotropical species distributed from central Mexico to southern Paraguay. Species are small to medium-sized cerambycids with typical lamiine morphology. Some species have been recorded from temperate North America, including Missouri and Vermont, though these may represent occasional vagrants or previously undocumented populations rather than established ranges. The genus is associated with woody vegetation, with at least one species (Lepturges limpidus) linked to host plants in the family Malvaceae.

Lepturges angulatus
Lepturges angulatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by LeConte in 1852, with a basionym of Leiopus angulatus. The species has been reared from dead branches of red buckeye (Aesculus pavia) in Missouri, representing a documented larval host association.

Lepturges confluens
Dark-stained Longhorned Beetle
Lepturges confluens is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Samuel Stehman Haldeman in 1847. The species is known to be attracted to ultraviolet and mercury-vapor lights during nocturnal activity. It has been documented in mesic lowland deciduous forests and is associated with oak-dominated habitats. The species occurs in eastern North America, with records from the United States and Canada.

Lepturges infilatus
Lepturges infilatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, described by Henry Walter Bates in 1872. It belongs to the tribe Acanthocinini, a group of small to medium-sized cerambycids often associated with dead or decaying wood. The species occurs in Central America and parts of North America, including Costa Rica and Guatemala.

Lepturges pictus
Lepturges pictus is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852. It belongs to the tribe Acanthocinini and is part of the diverse genus Lepturges, which contains numerous small to medium-sized cerambycid beetles. The species is known from North America, with records from Canada (Ontario) and the United States.

Lepturges regularis
Lepturges regularis is a species of longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1852. The species is considered very uncommonly encountered in the field and has been reared from dead branches of red buckeye (Aesculus pavia), representing a documented larval host association.
