Dryobius sexnotatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It is the only species in the monospecific genus Dryobius.
==Taxonomic history== The species was initially described by Thomas Say, who named it Callidium 6-fasciatum. He placed it in the genus Callidium. In 1850, John Lawrence LeConte transferred the species to be the sole member of his newly-circumscribed genus Dryobius, making the name D. 6-fasciatus. LeConte emended the specific name from 6-fasciatus to sexfasciatus in 1859.
