Lagocheirus araneiformis is a species of longhorn beetle of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1767 12th edition of Systema Naturae. [1]
Lagocheirus araneiformis can reach a length of 20–28 millimetres (0.79–1.10 in). The basic coloration of these longhorn beetles is grey brown. They are considered a pest of cassava ( Manihot esculenta ) and sugar cane ( Saccharum species).
This species can be found in Mexico, Ecuador, Honduras, Antilles, Peru and Venezuela.
The insects of the beetle family Chrysomelidae are commonly known as leaf beetles, and include over 37,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, making up one of the largest and most commonly encountered of all beetle families. Numerous subfamilies are recognized, but the precise taxonomy and systematics are likely to change with ongoing research.
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 timberman beetle is a species of beetle belonging to the longhorn beetle family, which is a woodboring beetle.
Hylotrupes is a monotypic genus of woodboring beetles in the family Cerambycidae, the longhorn beetles. The sole species, Hylotrupes bajulus, is known by several common names, including house longhorn beetle, old house borer, and European house borer. In South Africa it also is known as the Italian beetle because of infested packing cases that had come from Italy. Hylotrupes is the only genus in the tribe Hylotrupini

Exocentrus lusitanus is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1767 12th edition of Systema Naturae. It is known from Europe and western Russia. The beetles inhabit broadleaf trees, particularly lime trees and sometimes hazels. The larvae feed on dead tree material under bark and in branches and twigs. They measure 3.5–6 millimetres (0.14–0.24 in) in length as adults, and can live for approximately two years.
