Biology:Mesechthistatus

From HandWiki

Mesechthistatus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.[1][2][3][4] Mesechthistatus have atrophied hindwings and are thereby flightless.[1]

Species

There are four widely recognized species that all occur in Japan:[1][2][3][4]

Mesechthistatus taniguchii is also known from China.[5] A fifth species, Mesechthistatus yamahoi Mitono, 1943 had not been recorded since the initial description of a specimen from Taiwan and its status as a species was deemed questionable by Nakamine & Takeda in 2008;[1] however, it is treated as valid by the Catalogue of Life in Taiwan that also includes a modern photograph.[6] Yet other sources place this species in its own monotypic genus, Mimechthistatus.[7][8][9]
