Anopliomorpha rinconia
Anopliomorpha rinconia is a small cerambycid beetle in the tribe Elaphidiini, recorded from the southwestern United States and Mexico. The species has been documented from Arizona, where it was collected by sweeping low vegetation in canyon habitats. It is one of several small, inconspicuous elaphidiine species that are often encountered in low numbers during general collecting.
Sternidius chemsaki
A small longhorned beetle in the tribe Acanthocinini, described by Lewis in 1977. The genus Sternidius contains numerous small, often morphologically similar species that have undergone significant taxonomic revision. Specimens are typically collected by beating woody vegetation, particularly in western North America. The species is part of a genus that has experienced synonymization and revalidation of taxa based on subsequent revisionary work.
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.
Sternidius misellus
Sternidius misellus is a small longhorned beetle (Cerambycidae) described by LeConte in 1852. The species belongs to the tribe Acanthocinini within the subfamily Lamiinae. It is one of numerous small, morphologically similar species in the genus Sternidius that have historically presented taxonomic challenges, with some species previously synonymized under broader concepts such as S. alpha before being revalidated. The genus is known for high variability in coloration and pattern across its range.
