Stenosphenus dolosus
Stenosphenus dolosus is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by George Henry Horn in 1885. It belongs to the tribe Elaphidiini, a diverse group of cerambycids often associated with woody vegetation. Field observations indicate adults are attracted to ethanol-baited traps and have been found resting on thorny branches of lotebush (Zizyphus obtusifolium) during evening hours. The species occurs in the southwestern United States and Mexico.
