Xylotrechus
tiger longhorned beetles
Xylotrechus is a genus of longhorned beetles in the family Cerambycidae containing approximately 200 described species. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated bodies, long antennae, and often striking color patterns. The genus includes economically significant species such as Xylotrechus chinensis (tiger longhorned beetle), which is a pest of mulberry and other fruit trees, and Xylotrechus pyrrhoderus, a grapevine borer. Several species have been documented as attracted to fermenting baits, making them accessible to collectors using molasses-beer or wine traps.
