Cerambycidae of the Hualapai Mountains 
Ergates spiculatus neomexicanus Casey. This species has been captured at 
the bases of dead standing Pinus ponderosa at night on various dates in 
August. 
Prionus californicus Motschulsky. Numerous records at high and mid ele¬ 
vations in July and August. 
Prionus heroicus Semenov. Taken at ultraviolet light at mid elevation July 
7-8, 1978. 
Tragosoma chiricahuae Linsley. Frequent in late July and early August at 
black light and existing lights, at Hualapai Mountain Park. 
Arhopalus asperatus (LeConte). Frequently taken at ultraviolet light and on 
dead standing Pinus ponderosa at high elevations. 
Arhopalus rusticus montanus (LeConte). Occasionally taken at ultraviolet 
light and on dead standing Pinus ponderosa at high elevations. It has been 
reared from Pinus ponderosa by F. T. Hovore from wood collected at 
Hualapai Mountain Park in August. 
Oeme costata LeConte. A totally black specimen was taken by D. S. Lewis 
at ultraviolet light mid elevation on June 24, 1976. 
Oeme rigida deserta Casey. Several specimens were taken at ultraviolet 
light and mercury vapor light July 7-9, 1978 mid elevation. 
Methia carinata Linsley. The type and allotype were taken at “Hualpai” 
Arizona by D. J. and J. N. Knull July 2nd and 6th. A few specimens 
assignable to this species were taken at mercury vapor light July 7-9, 
1978. 
Methia mormona Linell. Numerous records, June, July and August at ul¬ 
traviolet light at mid elevation and high elevation at Pine Lake Lodge and 
Hualapai Mountain Park. 
Methia lata Knull. Three specimens which I tentatively assign to this west 
Texan species came to ultraviolet light near Pine Lake Lodge August 3, 
1965. The species is very closely allied to Methia mormona Linell, and 
may be a polymorph of that species. 
Methia flavicornis Casey. A specimen was taken at 5200 ft in oak juniper 
woodland at ultraviolet light by E. F. Giesbert, July 11, 1977. 
Methia knulli Linsley. One specimen was taken at light approximately 2 mi 
west of Kingman August 12, 1967, and two additional specimens at mer¬ 
cury vapor light July 7-9, 1978 in oak juniper woodland. The Holotype 
female was collected by D. J. and J. N. Knull July 3, “Hualpai” Arizona. 
Methia dubia Linsley. Three specimens were taken at the agricultural in¬ 
spection station two miles west of Kingman at existing lights August 1, 
1965, and one specimen was taken at Pinyon Pine Estates July 11, 1977 
by E. F. Giesbert.
