Etymology
From cactus + longhorn beetle.
Meanings
-
Any beetle of the genus Moneilema, which are commonly found on cacti.
We checked the cholla (Cylindropuntia imbricata) along the way hoping to see Coenopoeus palmeri (one of the cactus longhorns, which I’m not sure has been recorded from Oklahoma) or at least one of the more widespread Moneilema species, but none were seen (nor really expected).
