Longhorned Beetle - Clytus ruricola
Copyright © 2004 Tony DiTerlizzi

Longhorned Beetle - Clytus ruricola
Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
June 6, 2004
Shot on a trail near our home. It has very close markings to C. ruricola, especially when you compare it this shot and these shots.

Also, this shot of Troy's also seems to be C. ruricola (as ID'd by Patrick):

xylotrechus vs Clytus
these two genera can be hard to distinguish if you dont have the specimen in hand. The biggest difference between them is that Xylotrechus has a bicarinate area on the front of the head, Clytus does not.

ruricola my first choice.
However, Xylotrechus schaefferi has almost identical markings but perhaps not as bold and more of a tapered body.

antennae very short in Xylotrechus
Don't Xylotrechus have really short antennae? The illustration in Yanega (1) shows this for X. schaefferi. They barely reach back to the end of the pronotum. Clytus antennae extend back to mid-elytra. This photo shows long antennae, I think.

I'm going to move these images unless there are no huge objections--see comments about range on Troy's images.
