Mesechthistatus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae,[2] containing the following species:[3]
- Mesechthistatus binodosus (Waterhouse, 1881)
- Mesechthistatus fujisanus Hayashi, 1957
- Mesechthistatus furciferus (Bates, 1884)
- Mesechthistatus taniguchii (Seki, 1944)
A fifth species, Mesechthistatus yamahoi Mitono, 1943 has not been recorded since the initial description of a specimen from Taiwan and its status as a species is questionable.[1]
