Vandykea tuberculata
Serpentine Cypress Long-horned Beetle
Vandykea tuberculata is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) and the sole representative of its genus. It was described by Linsley in 1932 and is known from serpentine cypress habitats in western North America. The species is classified in the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Oemini.
Xylocrius agassizi
Gooseberry Root Borer
Xylocrius agassizi is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Hatch in 1971. It is currently treated as a synonym of Xylocrius agassizii in some taxonomic databases, though the original spelling agassizi is also in use. The species is known from western North America, with records from British Columbia, Canada and the United States. Its common name, Gooseberry Root Borer, suggests an association with Ribes (gooseberry/currant) plants as hosts.
Xylotrechus albonotatus
Xylotrechus albonotatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1912. It belongs to the genus Xylotrechus, a diverse group of wood-boring beetles commonly known as tiger beetles or wasp beetles due to their frequent yellow and black coloration. The specific epithet "albonotatus" refers to white markings, suggesting distinctive pale patterning on the elytra or pronotum. Like other members of the tribe Clytini, adults are likely diurnal and active on host tree trunks.
Xylotrechus annosus annosus
Xylotrechus annosus annosus is a subspecies of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, tribe Clytini. The species is currently treated as a synonym in modern taxonomy, with Xylotrechus annosus (Say, 1827) representing the valid species. Members of this genus are wood-boring beetles typically associated with dead or dying hardwood trees. The nominate subspecies was described by Thomas Say in 1827 based on North American specimens.
Xylotrechus lengi
Xylotrechus lengi is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Schaeffer in 1908. It belongs to the tribe Clytini, a group known for wood-boring larvae. The species is native to western North America, with records from British Columbia and the western United States. Very little is documented about its biology or ecology.
Xylotrechus robustus
Xylotrechus robustus is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Hopping in 1941. It belongs to the tribe Clytini, a group commonly known as the round-necked longhorns. The species is known from North America, specifically the United States, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Xylotrechus schaefferi
Xylotrechus schaefferi is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Schott in 1925. It belongs to the tribe Clytini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The species is known from multiple Canadian provinces including Manitoba, Ontario, and Québec. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with woody vegetation, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in the available literature.
Zaplous annulatus
Zaplous annulatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. Originally described by Louis Alexandre Auguste Chevrolat in 1862 under the genus Ecyrus, it was later transferred to the genus Zaplous. The species is known from Cuba and the United States, with records from the Caribbean and North America. As a member of the subfamily Lamiinae, it belongs to a diverse group of wood-boring beetles commonly known as flat-faced longhorns.
