Synonymy of Megacyllene comanchei Rice and Morris and Megacyllene angulifera (Casey) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae).

Hart C.J., Ivie M.A. (2013) Synonymy of Megacyllene comanchei Rice and Morris and Megacyllene angulifera (Casey) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae). The Coleopterists Bulletin 67(2): 89-93.

Highlights:

Of the 84 specimens examined, 26 are the M. angulifera Form, 20 fit the Intermediate Form, and 38 are the M. comanchei Form. There is no clear geographic pattern to this variation as all three forms are found from Alberta to Texas (Fig. 4), often being taken together in the same series on the same day. In all of the states and provinces except one (Oklahoma, n = 2), where more than one specimen was collected, a range of phenotypes were present. Furthermore, there was no correlation with sex or size of the beetle.

Zamoroka, A.M. (2021) Is Clytini monophyletic? The evidence from five-gene phylogenetic analysis. Proceedings of the State Natural History Museum 37(37): 191-214.

Abstract

Tribe Clytini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) is one of the largest within the long horn beetles, having over 1500 species. Until now, the tribe was considered monophyletic, despite the fact that it combines several different morphological groups. Morphological data alone could not shed enough light on the taxonomy and phylogeny of Clytini.

Notes on some longicorns from subtropical Texas (Coleop.: Cerambycidae)

By Linsley, E.G. & J.O. Martin.
Entomological News, 44(7): 178-183., 1933

Linsley, E.G. & J.O. Martin. 1933. Notes on some longicorns from subtropical Texas (Coleop.: Cerambycidae). Entomological News, 44(7): 178-183.

Since the subtropical insect fauna of Brownsville, Texas, was first made famous by Townsend, and later by Wickbam, Schwarz, and Schaeffer, this interesting region has been sought by many collectors. During recent years the development of good roads and improved methods of transportation have eliminated the necessity for spending long periods of time in travelling to and from Southern Texas.
