Yellow Velvet Beetle

Lepturobosca chrysocoma

Lepturobosca chrysocoma is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described as Cosmosalia chrysocoma by William Kirby in 1837. In 1998, comparison of Cosmalia chrysocoma with Lepturobosca virens by the Russian entomologist Alexander Ivanovich Miroshnikov resulted in Cosmalia and Lepturobosca grouped together under the name Lepturobosca. Common names used for this beetle include Yellow velvet beetle, Golden flower longhorn beetle and Golden-haired flower longhorn.
