Aneßomorpha luteicornis (Linsley, 1957).
BugGuide gives the range of this species as Arizona
and New Mexico. As of 06 July 2025 there are no
iNaturalist observations and that on BugGuide is by
Steven Lingafelter.
26. Aneßomorpha paralinearis (Lingafelter, 2022). By
Òmike_hÓ, an iNaturalist observation from Gila
County, Arizona, on 24 August 2023. Shown here
under a Creative Commons license. BugGuide
gives the range of this species as Arizona - New
Mexico at elevations between 1400 and 2100
meters. The observation shown at the right (26a)
was made by Edward L. Ruden on 22 July 2022 in
San Miguel County, New Mexico. This individual
came to a mercury vapor lamp setup. Once again
demonstrating the bracketed effect of observations
to both the east and west of our area - but
apparently not here. My inclination is that the
bracket is a result of a dearth of observation rather
than a limitation of range.
27. Aneßomorpha rectilinea (Casey, 1924). There are
not many observations of this species in the
iNaturalist data base (as of 06 July 2025) and those
observations bracket our area. For example, the
observation shown here is from Felt, Oklahoma, by
Ted C. MacRae on 28 July 2023. Shown here under
a Creative Commons license. BugGuide has
observations of this species from the Organ
Mountains (Jim McClarin, 09 August 2006) and
many from southern Arizona.

28. Aneßomorpha tenuis (LeConte, 1854). The season
for this species is typically May to September.
Acacia sp. have been mentioned as host plants.
David Heckard made the iNaturalist observation
shown here in July 2022 in the Guadalupe
Mountains of southeastern New Mexico.
Aneßomorpha texana (Linsley, 1936). There were
no observations of this species on iNaturalist as of
06 July 2025 and only one on BugGuide, by Donald
Riley on 23 August 2014 at Fort Davis, Texas.
BugGuide gives the range of this species as west
Texas to New Mexico.
Genus Aneßus (LeConte, 1873). Several species in this
genus are found as close as central Arizona; not all have
been listed here.
29. Aneßus levettei (Casey, 1891 - Orig. Comb:
Elaphidion levettei) The specimen shown in this
iNaturalist observation by ÒfannysoprannyÓ was
recorded west of Portal, Arizona in the Chiricahua
Mountains on 01 August 2017.
30. Aneßus obscurus (LeConte 1873). An observation
on BugGuide from the Double E Ranch in Grant
County, on 05 July 2019 by Andrew Meeds, may be
viewed at this link. Jairo UribarriÕs observation on
iNaturalist from the Franklin Mountains (El Paso) on
25 June 2022 may be seen on the following page.
