Apomecyna

TaxID: 584589

Basic Information

Apomecyna

Cucurbit Longicorn

Apomecyna is a genus of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, containing over 80 species worldwide, primarily in the Old World. Many species use plants in the family Cucurbitaceae as hosts. Beetles in this genus are cylindrical and elongate with thick antennae that are shorter than the body. The antennae have the third segment as long or longer than the fourth and much longer than the first. The fifth and subsequent antennal segments are short. The eye is emarginate with the ventral lobe running transverse. Underneath the body, there is a narrow prosternal process while the mesosternal process slopes towards the apex.

Morphological Features

Body elongate, subcylindrical, slightly flattened, grey. Head depressed between eyes with a median line; clypeus with sinuate anterior margin. Antennae with 3rd and 4th segments combined length longer than 5th and rest of segments combined (in some species shorter); all antennal segments dark brown, with 3rd and 4th segments apically and rest of segments dark brown. Pronotum with anterior margin narrower than posterior margin, feeble explanate apically, lateral margin oblique anterior, then rounded, deflected at base, posteriolateral margins angulate at both sides; disc convex, covered with dense hairs and coarse punctations; median line white (absent in some species); pronotum with basal gray small patch or all margins with grey narrow patch. Scutellum triangularly rounded with two bunch of pale white hairs lobately oblique. Elytra with shoulders straight, apico-lateral margin feebly explanate; strial margins with coarse punctures, sparsely covered by dingy brown pubescence; each elytron with two pairs gray patches mediolateral: premedian patch oblique, cylindrical, postmedian patch with distinct three broad dot-like patch; apices conically produced.
