Steury B and Leavengood JM. 2018. Annotated Checklist of Checkered Beetles from the George Washington Memorial Parkway, Virginia (Coleoptera, Cleridae). Banisteria. 51:52-58
Malaise trap samples collected during a 19-year period (1998–2017) from four national park sites in northern Virginia were sorted for checkered beetles (Coleoptera, Cleridae). Eighteen species and one subspecies were documented, including the first published record of Phyllobaenus verticalis Say from the Commonwealth. Periods of adult activity, based on dates of capture, are given for each species. Relative abundance is noted for each species based on the number of captures.
