Dorcasominae is a subfamily in the longhorn beetle family Cerambycidae. There are about 14 genera and more than 30 described species in Dorcasominae, found mainly in Asia and Africa. These genera are sometimes considered members of the tribe Dorcasomini, which would be the only tribe of this subfamily. This classification is in accordance with the TITAN Cerambycidae database, [1] Catalogue of Life, [2] and Photographic Catalog of the Cerambycidae of the Old World. [3] . It is similar to that of Bouchard et al. in "Family-group names in Coleoptera", 2011. [4]
In addition to the 14 genera currently in Dorcasominae, this subfamily formerly contained more than 100 genera in following tribes: [2] [3] [1] [4]
These 14 genera belong to the subfamily Dorcasominae: [2]
The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described.
The beetle subfamily Curculioninae is part of the weevil family Curculionidae. It contains over 23,500 described species in 2,200 genera, and is therefore the largest weevil subfamily. Given that the beetle order (Coleoptera) contains about one-quarter of all known organisms, the Curculioninae represent one of the – if not the – most successful radiations of terrestrial Metazoa.
Lamiinae, commonly called flat-faced longhorns, are a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily includes over 750 genera, rivaled in diversity within the family only by the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Cerambycinae is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). The subfamily has a world-wide distribution including: Asia, Europe and the Americas. Within the family, the only subfamily of comparable diversity is the Lamiinae.
Lepturinae, the lepturine beetles, is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae), containing about 150 genera worldwide. This lineage is most diverse in the Northern Hemisphere. Until recently the subfamily Necydalinae was included within the lepturines, but this has been recently recognized as a separate subfamily. Nine tribes are usually recognized today, with a tenth, Caraphiini, created in 2016. A few genera are of uncertain placement within the subfamily.
Cerambycini is a tribe of longhorn beetles classified under the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Achrysonini is a tribe of Long-Horned Beetles in the beetle family Cerambycidae. There are more than 20 genera and 50 described species in Achrysonini. They are found mainly in the Americas, but also in Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Agallissini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera and species:
Callichromatini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, which includes the following genera:
Callidiopini is a tribe of longhorn beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae.
Compsocerini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Eburiini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, synonymous with the tribe Heteropsini Lacordaire, 1868, containing the following genera:
Heteropsini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, synonymous with the tribe Eburiini Blanchard, 1845, containing the following genera:
Neocorini is a tribe of typical longhorn beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are about 7 genera and more than 20 described species in Neocorini.
Smodicini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera and species:
Trypogeus is a genus of Long-Horned Beetles in the beetle family Cerambycidae. There are about 14 described species in Trypogeus, found in China and Southeast Asia.
Cnodalonini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are over 340 genera in Cnodalonini.
Phrenapatinae is a subfamily of darkling beetles in the family Tenebrionidae. There are more than 20 genera in Phrenapatinae, grouped into 3 tribes.
Physogasterini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the subfamily Pimeliinae of the family Tenebrionidae. There are about five genera in Physogasterini, found in the Neotropics.
Trilobocarini is a tribe of darkling beetles in the subfamily Pimeliinae of the family Tenebrionidae. There are about five genera in Trilobocarini, found mainly in the Neotropics.
