Phymatodes blandus
Phymatodes blandus is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is found in the United States. The species was formerly divided into subspecies, with P. blandus concolor recognized as a full species following nomenclatural revisions by Swift and Ray (2010).
Phymatodes decussatus
Phymatodes decussatus is a species of longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) originally described by LeConte in 1857. The species has undergone significant nomenclatural revision: the name P. decussatus was historically misapplied to a common oak-associated species now correctly called P. obliquus, while the true P. decussatus was previously known as P. juglandis. The species is associated with walnut (Juglans) rather than oak. A single subspecies, P. decussatus posticus, occurs in western North America and Mexico.
Phymatodes obliquus
Phymatodes obliquus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was formerly confused with P. decussatus due to misapplication of that name by Linsley (1964), but was correctly identified as a distinct species by Swift & Ray (2010). The species is primarily associated with oak (Quercus) hosts in western North America.
