Coleomethia xanthocollis
Coleomethia xanthocollis is a species of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Josef N. Knull in 1935. It belongs to the tribe Methiini, a group of cerambycids often associated with arid and semi-arid habitats. The species is known from the United States, with records indicating presence in North America. Specific ecological details remain limited in published literature.
Methia
Methia is a genus of longhorned beetles in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, and tribe Methiini. The genus was established by Newman in 1842 and contains approximately 40 described species distributed primarily in North and Central America, with some species extending into South America. Species within this genus are typically small to medium-sized cerambycids. Adult Methia have been documented as attracted to ultraviolet and mercury vapor lights, suggesting nocturnal or crepuscular activity patterns.
Methia arizonica
Methia arizonica is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Schaeffer in 1908. It belongs to the tribe Methiini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The species is native to the southwestern United States, specifically Arizona, as indicated by its specific epithet. Like other members of the genus Methia, it is likely associated with woody vegetation, though detailed biological information remains limited.
Methia bicolor
Methia bicolor is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1885. It belongs to the tribe Methiini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The species is known from North America, with confirmed records from the United States. Like other members of the genus Methia, it is a small to medium-sized cerambycid beetle.
Methia brevis
Methia brevis is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Henry Clinton Fall in 1929. The species belongs to the tribe Methiini and is one of approximately 30 described species in the genus Methia. Very little published information exists regarding its biology, ecology, or distinguishing characteristics beyond its taxonomic placement. The species has been recorded in both the United States and Mexico.
Methia flavicornis
Methia flavicornis is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) in the tribe Methiini. It was described by Thomas Lincoln Casey in 1924. The genus Methia is part of the subfamily Cerambycinae, a diverse group of wood-boring beetles. Members of this genus are typically small to medium-sized cerambycids with relatively short antennae compared to many longhorn beetles.
Methia knulli
Methia knulli is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Linsley in 1940. It belongs to the tribe Methiini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The species is known from North America, specifically the United States. As with many cerambycids, adults likely feed on various plant materials while larvae develop in woody substrates.
Methia mormona
Methia mormona is a species of longhorned beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Linell in 1897. The species belongs to the tribe Methiini and has been documented from southwestern North America, including New Mexico and adjacent regions. Adults are attracted to ultraviolet and mercury vapor lights at dusk, with observations indicating peak activity during the summer months in montane juniper-oak-pinyon woodland habitats.
Methia necydalea
Methia necydalea is a species of longhorned beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1798. It is classified in the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Methiini. The species has been documented in Caribbean localities including Barbados (BB) and Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (BQ). As of the available data, 322 observations have been recorded on iNaturalist.
Styloxus bicolor
Red-necked Juniper Borer
Styloxus bicolor is a longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) native to western North America. It was described by Champlain and Knull in 1922. The species is commonly known as the Red-necked Juniper Borer and has been documented as a specialist on juniper hosts, particularly Juniperus monosperma. Its life history has been studied in northern Arizona, where it develops as a wood-borer in living juniper trees.
Styloxus fulleri
Styloxus fulleri is a small longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by George Henry Horn in 1880. It measures approximately 12–13 mm in length and is characterized by exceptionally long, thin antennae segments and disproportionately large eyes on a small head. The elytra are notably abbreviated, covering only about two-thirds of the body length and leaving the hind wings partially exposed. The species belongs to the tribe Methiini within the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Styloxus fulleri californicus
Styloxus fulleri californicus is a subspecies of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Fall in 1901. It belongs to the tribe Methiini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The taxon is currently accepted with valid status. Very few documented observations exist—only three records in iNaturalist—indicating it is rarely encountered or potentially underreported. Its distribution includes parts of North America, specifically the United States and Mexico.
Styloxus fulleri fulleri
Styloxus fulleri fulleri is a subspecies of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) in the tribe Methiini. The taxon was originally described by Horn in 1880. GBIF records indicate presence in Mexico and the United States. iNaturalist shows 17 observations of this subspecies. The taxon is currently treated as a synonym in some databases.
Tessaropa tenuipes
Tessaropa tenuipes is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Haldeman in 1846. It is currently classified in the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Methiini. The species is known from North America. Limited biological information is available for this taxon.
