The elm borer (Saperda tridentata) is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Guillaume-Antoine Olivier in 1795. It is known from Canada and the United States. It feeds on Ulmus rubra and Ulmus americana. It acts as a vector for the fungus Ophiostoma ulmi, and as a host for the parasitoid wasp Cenocoelius saperdae.[https://www.biolib.cz/en/taxon/id301022/ BioLib.cz - Saperda tridentata].
