Callichroma auricomum is a species of Callichroma in the family Cerambycidae.
Callichroma auricomum can reach a length of 45–47 millimetres (1.8–1.9 in). [2] [3] This longhorn is characterized by well-developed hind legs. Elytra show a black and metallic green or bronze coloration. [4]
This species can be found in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Guiana, Suriname, French Guiana and Bolivia. [4] [5] [6]
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 musk beetle is a Eurasian species of longhorn beetle belonging to the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Callichromatini. Its name comes from the delicate musky smell it emits when menaced. The beetle has a shell with an iridescence tone that changes with the angle of view. It has a hard shell around the thorax with hard sharp spines.

It was described by Martin Schmidt in 1924, who named it Callichroma (Xenochroma) subpulvereum, designating it to be the type species of the subgenus Xenochroma, subsequently found to be an invalid. It is known from southeastern Brazil.

Zonopterus consanguineus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. Like other beetles in the tribe Callichromatini it is brightly coloured with orange bands on black. It is very similar to Zonopterus flavitarsis which is found in northeastern India but has the first five or six antennal segments black and the anterior band is narrower. The elytra sometimes shows a bluish tint at the apex. The species has been recorded from peninsular India.
Zonopterus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. Like most members in the tribe Callichromatini, species in the genus are brightly coloured with bands across the elytra. Most species in the genus are restricted to Southeast Asia with one species occurring in the Western Ghats of South Asia which is closely related to the type species Zonopterus flavitarsis from the eastern Himalayas. The genus was named by Frederick William Hope using the Greek roots ζώνη for belt describing the insect as "belted winged".
Euporus is a genus of beetles belonging to the large subfamily Cerambycinae in the family of longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae).
