Mesechthistatus
Mesechthistatus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. Mesechthistatus have atrophied hindwings and are thereby flightless.
Species
There are four widely recognized species that all occur in Japan:Mesechthistatus binodosus Mesechthistatus fujisanus Hayashi, 1957Mesechthistatus furciferus Mesechthistatus taniguchiiMesechthistatus taniguchii is also known from China. A fifth species, Mesechthistatus yamahoi had not been recorded since the initial description of a specimen from Taiwan and its status as a species was deemed questionable by Nakamine & Takeda in 2008; however, it is treated as valid by the Catalogue of Life in Taiwan that also includes a modern photograph. Yet other sources place this species in its own monotypic genus, Mimechthistatus.
