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.
The Prioninae are a subfamily of Cerambycidae. They are typically large (25–70 mm) and usually brown or black. The males of a few genera sport large mandibles that are used in fights with other males, similar to stag beetles. These beetles are commonly nocturnal and are attracted to light. The majority of the Prioninae whose biology is known are borers whose larvae feed on rotting wood or roots.
The Taveuni beetle is known from the island of Taveuni in the Fiji, and is one of the largest living insect species, with specimens around 14 cm long, excluding legs, antennae, or mandibles.
Derobrachus geminatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. For over 100 years, this species was confused with the related species Derobrachus hovorei; essentially all literature prior to 2007 therefore uses the name geminatus for the wrong species, while the true geminatus was known under the junior name Derobrachus forreri. It is an uncommon species but fairly large, reaching 70 mm in length, that can be found from southern Arizona and Texas to Sinaloa and Baja California Sur.
The Disteniidae are a small family of beetles in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea, traditionally treated as a group within the Cerambycidae.
The Vesperidae are a small family of beetles, normally classified within the family Cerambycidae, of heterogeneous aspect but all characterised by larval stages related to roots of herbaceous plants or trees
Ucai is a genus of beetles in the longhorn beetle family, Cerambycidae. It was erected in 2009 with the description of a new species from Brazil. A second species was described in 2014.

Strongylaspis is a genus of beetles in the longhorn beetle family, Cerambycidae.
Dorysthenes dentipes is a species of beetle from the long horned-beetle family Cerambycidae. It is found throughout Vietnam, China, and Laos. The beetles can grow up to 46 millimeters long. The scientific name of the species was first published in 1902 by Faimraire.

Xixuthrus domingoensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It has also been classified in the genus Mecosarthron, but this assignment has been challenged, with evidence both for and against the placement of this species in the genus Xixuthrus, which is otherwise restricted to the Old World.
Acanthophorus is a genus of prionine longhorn beetles from the Indian subcontinent. It is monotypic, being represented by the single species Acanthophorus serraticornis. Other species that were formerly included in the genus are now placed in other genera.
