• Rhopalophora meeskei

  Rhopalophora meeskei is a longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Casey in 1891. The species has been documented in the southwestern United States and Mexico, with confirmed records from Arizona and observations in Guatemala and Honduras. Field observations indicate adults are active during summer months and are associated with flowering plants, particularly milkweeds (Asclepias spp.) and Ceanothus species.
