Gosling, D.C.L. 1984. Flower records for anthophilous Cerambycidae in a southwestern Michigan woodland. Great Lakes Entomologist 17(2): 79–82.

ABSTRACT
Flower records are listed for 33 species of anthophilous Cerambycidae based on a six-year study in an 80-ha woodland in southwestern Michigan.

DISCUSSION
The cerambycids in this list are from the Lepturinae and a few tribes of Cerambycinae; no other subfamilies are represented. The three species of Tetraopes found in the study area do occasionally appear on the flowers of their host plants, Asclepias syriaca L.
