Overview
Yementallyrama
*Yementallyrama* Sama, 2008 is a small, monotypic genus of longhorn beetles endemic to Yemen, where it inhabits woodland and scrubland dominated by *Acacia*. Adults measure 5–10 mm and display variable coloration, while larvae develop subcortically to within the wood of dead or dying host trees. The genus is associated with elevations from sea level up to 1500 m, and adults are active between May and August, attracted to fresh dead wood and UV light.
