Taxonomy
Family: CERAMBYCIDAE Subfamily: LepturinaeSubgenus: PidoniaSynonym: Pidonia ruficollis                                                             
Species Status: This species has recently been resurrected from synonymy with P. ruficollis (Bosquet et al., 2017)
Identification
Field Guide Descriptions: Online Resources: BugGuide, Wikipedia, GBIF   iNaturalist                                                              
Comments: The key characters given for P. ruficollis by Lingafelter (2007) still apply but all specimens with pale stripes on the elytra are now considered to belong to P. vibex (Androw, 2017, in BugGuide, accessed 2022-09-08). The characters that distinguish this species from P. nitidicollis are structural and visible only by inspecting the ventral side of the specimen (Androw, 2017).
