Haplidoeme schlingeri
Haplidoeme schlingeri is a species of longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) described by Chemsak and Linsley in 1965. It belongs to the tribe Oemini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The species epithet honors E. Schlinger, a notable collector associated with the UCR Entomology Research Museum. Beyond basic taxonomic information, little is documented about its biology or ecology.
Malacopterus tenellus
Malacopterus tenellus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1801. The species is distributed across parts of South America and the Caribbean, with records from Brazil, Bolivia, and other regions. As a member of the tribe Oemini within the subfamily Cerambycinae, it represents a lineage of wood-boring beetles. The original description placed it in the genus Callidium, but it was later transferred to Malacopterus.
Oeme
Oeme is a genus of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae) established by Newman in 1840. The genus contains two recognized species: Oeme costata LeConte, 1873 and Oeme rigida (Say, 1826). Members of this genus are associated with coniferous trees, particularly pinyon pines. Oeme costata has been documented from single-leaf pinyon pine (Pinus monophylla) in the Spring Mountains of Nevada, where adults are active nocturnally on tree trunks. The genus belongs to the tribe Oemini within the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Oeme costata
Oeme costata is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1873. It belongs to the tribe Oemini and is one of approximately 17 species in the genus Oeme. The species has been documented in the southwestern United States, with observations from high-elevation pinyon-juniper woodlands. It exhibits nocturnal activity, having been observed on tree trunks at night.
Oeme rigida
Rigid Oeme
Oeme rigida is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae) described by Thomas Say in 1826. The species is native to western North America, with records from the United States and Mexico. Two subspecies are recognized: O. r. rigida (nominate) and O. r. deserta Casey, 1924. Adults have been collected from dead pinyon pine (Pinus edulis) branches, suggesting larval development in coniferous wood.
Oeme rigida deserta
Oeme rigida deserta is a subspecies of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Casey in 1924. It belongs to the tribe Oemini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The subspecies has been documented from western North America, with specific collection records from pinyon-oak-juniper woodland habitats. It appears to be associated with dead coniferous wood, particularly Pinus edulis (Colorado pinyon pine).
Paranoplium
Paranoplium is a monotypic genus of longhorn beetles (family Cerambycidae) established by Casey in 1924. The genus contains a single species, Paranoplium gracile, distributed in the western United States and Mexico. It belongs to the tribe Oemini within the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Paranoplium gracile
Paranoplium gracile is a longhorn beetle (family Cerambycidae) and the sole species in its genus. It was described by LeConte in 1881 and is native to North America. The species belongs to the subfamily Cerambycinae and tribe Oemini. It is represented by 238 observations on iNaturalist, indicating it is documented but not particularly abundant in collections.
Paranoplium gracile gracile
Paranoplium gracile gracile is a subspecies of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, tribe Oemini. Originally described by LeConte in 1881, it is currently treated as a synonym in modern taxonomic databases. The species is known from North America, with records from the United States. As a cerambycid, it belongs to a diverse family of wood-boring beetles, though specific biological details for this subspecies remain poorly documented.
Pseudomethia arida
Pseudomethia arida is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is the sole member of its genus, Pseudomethia. The species was described by Linsley in 1937 and is found in arid regions of the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico.
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.
