Callidium californicum (Casey, 1912). As of 29 June
2025 BugGuide only has one observation for this
species, from California. iNaturalist does not have
any observations of the species as of that date.
However, the GBIF database indicates two
specimens, one from California and a specimen
curated by the New Mexico State Collection of
Arthropods, a specimen collected on 20 February
1980.
6. Callidium texanum (Schaeffer, 1917) - Black-horned
Juniper Borer. This is the only species of Callidium
which breeds in juniper. This iNaturalist observation, by ÒhayesbugÓ, was made just north of
Albuquerque. It is shown under a Creative
Commons license.
Genus Phymatodes (Mulsant, 1839). There are 26
species of Phymatodes in the United States and Canada.
BugGuide indicates that individuals in this genus Òcan be
distinguished from other NA callidiines by reduced
metacoxae, subcylindrical body, and generally by smaller
overall sizeÓ.
7. Phymatodes varius (Fabricius, 1776). Another of
those Òno specimens or observations from this areaÓ
creatures. But, of course it is found in central Texas
and southern Arizona. So, maybe? This photo was
taken by Ted C. MacRae in the Coronado National
Forest, west of Hereford, Arizona, on 30 April 2024.

range described as ÒBC-CA-NM, Rocky MtsÓ. As of
29 June 2025 BugGuide has only 1 pinned observation,
from California. iNaturalist has one unveriÞed
observation from Utah, west of Provo.
