Name change.
What reference documents the change in the genus name? I know both references listed place it in Leptura.

Good question
You're right, Douglas Yanega's book gives the genus as Leptura, and generally that should be the source to use, I would think. On the other hand, it is possible there has been an accepted name change in the eleven years since his book came out.

Neartica.com gives the genus as Leptura too, and BugGuiders tend to use that site as a main source. Arnett's two volume work on American Beetles (2002) also gives Leptura.

Googling Stenelytrana that first two hits are this page on BugGuide, and the Stenelytrana page on Mike Quinn's Texas site.

Mike, do you have any thoughts as to whether this page should be renamed Leptura or remain as it is?
