Billaea
Billaea is a genus of tachinid flies comprising approximately 80 described species. Most larvae are parasitoids of beetle larvae, particularly cerambycids and lucanids, with some species attacking lepidopteran hosts in the family Pyralidae. Several species have been investigated as biological control agents for agricultural and forestry pests, including palm weevils and sugarcane borers.

Xylotrechus albonotatus
Xylotrechus albonotatus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Thomas Lincoln Casey Jr. in 1912. It belongs to the genus Xylotrechus, a diverse group of wood-boring beetles commonly known as tiger beetles or wasp beetles due to their frequent yellow and black coloration. The specific epithet "albonotatus" refers to white markings, suggesting distinctive pale patterning on the elytra or pronotum. Like other members of the tribe Clytini, adults are likely diurnal and active on host tree trunks.

Xylotrechus annosus annosus
Xylotrechus annosus annosus is a subspecies of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, tribe Clytini. The species is currently treated as a synonym in modern taxonomy, with Xylotrechus annosus (Say, 1827) representing the valid species. Members of this genus are wood-boring beetles typically associated with dead or dying hardwood trees. The nominate subspecies was described by Thomas Say in 1827 based on North American specimens.

Xylotrechus lengi
Xylotrechus lengi is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Schaeffer in 1908. It belongs to the tribe Clytini, a group known for wood-boring larvae. The species is native to western North America, with records from British Columbia and the western United States. Very little is documented about its biology or ecology.

Xylotrechus nitidus
Xylotrechus nitidus is a species of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, first described by George Henry Horn in 1860. It belongs to the tribe Clytini, a group commonly known as the "round-necked longhorns." The species epithet "nitidus" (Latin for "shining" or "polished") likely refers to the beetle's glossy appearance. This species is part of a large and diverse genus containing over 200 species worldwide, many of which are wood-boring beetles associated with various hardwood trees.

Xylotrechus obliteratus
Xylotrechus obliteratus is a longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1873. It belongs to the tribe Clytini, a group of wood-boring beetles often characterized by patterned or banded elytra. The species name 'obliteratus' (meaning 'obliterated' or 'erased') likely refers to reduced or indistinct markings compared to congeners. Like other members of the genus Xylotrechus, this species is associated with woody plants, though specific host records are limited in the available literature.

Xylotrechus sagittatus chiricahuae
Xylotrechus sagittatus chiricahuae is a subspecies of longhorned beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Chemsak in 1959. As a member of the tribe Clytini, it belongs to a group of wood-boring beetles commonly known as typical longhorns. The subspecies epithet "chiricahuae" refers to the Chiricahua region, suggesting a southwestern North American distribution. Like other members of its genus, this beetle is associated with pine trees and develops in dead or dying wood.

Xylotrechus schaefferi
Xylotrechus schaefferi is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Schott in 1925. It belongs to the tribe Clytini within the subfamily Cerambycinae. The species is known from multiple Canadian provinces including Manitoba, Ontario, and Québec. Like other members of its genus, it is likely associated with woody vegetation, though specific biological details remain poorly documented in the available literature.
