Paraleprodera stephanus

Paraleprodera stephanus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by White in 1858, originally under the genus Monohammus. It is known from India, China, Vietnam, Laos, Bhutan, and Nepal.[1] Sources disagree as to the spelling and the synonymies associated with this taxon (e.g., compare [1] to [2]). The name "fasciata" is sometimes treated as a subspecies, but this name is unavailable under ICZN Art. 45.6.4, as it was described as infrasubspecific and not used as a valid name prior to 1985.[3]
