Stenaspis verticalis
Stenaspis verticalis is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Audinet-Serville in 1834. It belongs to the tribe Trachyderini, a group known for robust, often strikingly patterned beetles. Field observations indicate this species is closely associated with Baccharis sarothroides (desert broom), on which adults have been found resting and mating. The species occurs in the southwestern United States and Mexico, with documented records from Arizona and potentially extending into Central America.
