Ulochaetes leoninus, California

Necydalinae is a small subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae), historically treated as a tribe within the subfamily Lepturinae, but recently recognized as a separate subfamily. These beetles are unusual for cerambycids, in that the elytra are quite short; they are thus rather similar in appearance to rove beetles, though most are actually bee or wasp mimics.[1][2][3]

Genera

These two genera belong to the subfamily Necydalinae:[1][2][3]

  • Necydalis Linné, 1758 (Europe, Asia, North America)
  • Ulochaetes LeConte, 1854 (western North America)
