Amphelictus aibussu is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1]
Amphelictus aibussu has a reddish brown exoskeleton with the head and thorax being a slightly darker color like all long-horned beetles, Amphelictus aibussu has long, distinguishable, and segmented antennae. Amphelictus aibussu can be found at around 1 1/2 inches in length similarly to many other species in its genus.
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described. Most species are characterized by extremely long antennae, which are often as long as or longer than the beetle's body. In various members of the family, however, the antennae are quite short and such species can be difficult to distinguish from related beetle families such as the Chrysomelidae. The scientific name of this beetle family goes back to a figure from Greek mythology: after an argument with nymphs, the shepherd Cerambus was transformed into a large beetle with horns.
