The Cerambycid fauna of montane Arizona has been extensively studied, 
with collecting reports having been published by Linsley et al. (1961), and 
Schaeffer (1908), for southeastern Arizona, and by Wickham (1896), for the 
more northerly portions of the state. 
The Hualapais are the westernmost of the readily accessible isolated 
mountain ranges in north-central Arizona, and are located approximately 
fifty miles east of Needles, California. The Rocky Mountain Ranges extend 
to the northeast, and the Sierra Madre Ranges extend to the southeast, 
separated from the Hualapais by semiarid or arid lowlands. 
The town of Kingman, elevation 3300 ft, is situated at the base of the 
Hualapais. A paved road on the east end of town extends thirteen miles 
south to Hualapai Mountain Park (6500 feet). 
The principal floral elements of the lower elevations around Kingman and 
on the alluvial plain include Catclaw (. Acacia greggii ), Agave sp., Allthorn 
0 Canotia holocantha ) and various species of Compositae (including Hap- 
lopappus and Gutierrezia ). Approximately eight miles south of Kingman 
the road reaches a transition zone of Oak-Juniper-Pinyon Pine woodland 
extending from about 4500 to 5500 ft. Within this zone, at Pinyon Pine 
Estates, new roads and homesites are being developed, leaving piles of 
uprooted and fresh-cut Single-leaf Pinyon Pine ( Pinus monophylla ), Agave, 
Juniper {Juniperus virginiana var. scopulorum), and Scrub Oak ( Quercus 
turbenella). At higher elevations Ponderosa Pine {Pinus ponderosa ), New 
Mexican Locust {Robinia neomexicana ), Broadleaf Oak ( Quercus gambel- 
li ), Walnut {JugIans microcarpa). Lilac {Ceanothus sp.), and various species 
of Compositae are predominant. Collecting localities at higher elevations 
include Hualapai Mountain Park (6500 feet), Flag Mine (7000 feet), and 
Hualapai Mountain Lodge (6000 feet). 
The author has collected this area yearly over the past twelve years at 
various dates from June through September, and, unless otherwise stated, 
the following compilation of Cerambycidae is based upon his records. Fifty- 
seven species are listed with the previously unrecorded host plant of Acan- 
thocinus (i Canonura ) leechi (Dillon) recorded.
