Sternidius mimeticus
Sternidius mimeticus is a small longhorned beetle (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) described by Casey in 1891. The genus Sternidius has undergone taxonomic revision, with species formerly synonymized under Sternidius alpha later revalidated. This species is part of a group of small cerambycids commonly encountered by collectors beating vegetation in western North America. Specimens are typically pointed rather than pinned due to their small size.
