• Thryallis undatus

  Thryallis undatus is a longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Anisocerini) first described by Chevrolat in 1834. The species has been documented as a pest of Persian lime (Citrus latifolia) in commercial orchards in Veracruz, Mexico, where adults oviposit on trunks and branches and larvae create galleries 2–5 cm deep. This represents the first record of the species associated with the Rutaceae family. Native distribution includes Middle America and North America, with records from Guatemala and Honduras.
