Arhopalus asperatus (LeConte, 1859) | |
Arhopalus asperatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. [1] It was described by John Lawrence LeConte in 1859. [1]
The beetles vary from 18 to 33 mm in length, and have antennae of around 50% to 75% of the body length. [2]
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.
