About Plagithmysus concolor concolor
Plagithmysus concolor concolor is the nominotypical subspecies of a Kauaʻi longhorn beetle complex.
Natural history and identification
Plagithmysus concolor concolor is the nominotypical subspecies of a Kauaʻi longhorn beetle complex. The host index associates it with Syzygium, while older rearing literature also discusses Metrosideros under the broader species name. Those species-level records should not all be assigned indiscriminately to one subspecies. The complex has a history of variable morphology and uncertain boundaries, making a host label or an unexamined photograph insufficient for confident subspecies identification.
