Lyconotus
Lyconotus is a genus of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae. The genus contains a single described species, L. lateralis. Net-winged beetles are characterized by their soft, flexible elytra with distinct net-like venation patterns. Members of this genus are found in North America, with observations documented from Florida and other southeastern states.
Lygistopterus slevini
Lygistopterus slevini is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae. As with other lycids, adults are likely to exhibit aposematic coloration warning of chemical defenses. The species is documented from the southwestern United States, with records from Arizona and New Mexico. Observations suggest activity in late spring to early summer, consistent with the phenology of related net-winged beetles in arid regions.
Macrolygistopterus rubripennis
Red-winged net-winged beetle
A red net-winged beetle (family Lycidae) in the genus Macrolygistopterus. The species is characterized by bright red to orange-red elytra with distinctive black markings. Like other lycids, adults are diurnal and often found on vegetation. The genus Macrolygistopterus is distinguished from related genera by specific antennal and pronotal characteristics.
