Aegosoma scabricorne is a species of long-horned beetles belonging to the family Cerambycidae. [1]
Aegosoma scabricorne can reach a length of 25–52 millimetres (0.98–2.05 in). [2] It is one of the biggest long-horned beetles in Europe. Body is elongated, finely pubescent, of a reddish yellow color. Head is narrowed behind the eyes. Antennae are composed by 11 segments, rough in the male. Prothorax is narrowed forward, obtusely dentate at the basal angle. Elytra show two weak longitudinal ribs. In males the antennae reach the extremity of the body, while in the females they are a little shorter than the body. The abdomen is glabrous, with a protruding oviduct. [3]
This species is present in central and southern Europe, Asia (Japan, China, Indonesia ..) and in the Middle East (Iran, Caucasus). [4] [5] [6]
Adults can be found from June to August. These long-horned beetles are polyphagous in various deciduous trees ( Juglans , Castania, Corylus , Populus , Platanus , Tilia , Malus ). Larvae live in the trunk of old trees. Life cycle lasts at least three years. [6] [3] [2]
The Asian long-horned beetle, also known as the starry sky, sky beetle, or ALB, is native to the Korean Peninsula, northern and southern China, and disputably in northern Japan. This species has now been accidentally introduced into the eastern United States, where it was first discovered in 1996, as well as Canada, and several countries in Europe, including Austria, France, Germany, Italy and UK.

Callipogon relictus is a species of longhorn beetle which is mostly found in Korea, but also in China and southern part of Russian Far East. It inhabits mixed and deciduous forests. The population of Callipogon relictus is decreasing due to deforestation and uncontrolled collection, and therefore the species are listed in the Russian Red Book.
