The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as long-horned or longicorns, are a large family of beetles, with over 35,000 species described.
The Cucujidae, or flat bark beetles, are a family of distinctively flat beetles found worldwide under the bark of dead trees. The family has received considerable taxonomic attention in recent years and now consists of 70 species distributed in five genera. It was indicated Cucujus species are scavengers, only feeding on pupae and larvae of other insects and on other subcortical beetles such as their own. Since the Cucujidae prey on larvae of potentially tree damaging beetles that spread fungal diseases, they are considered to be beneficial to the health of living trees.
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.
The Disteniidae are a small family of beetles in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea, traditionally treated as a group within the Cerambycidae.
The Trictenotomidae are a small family of beetles in the superfamily Tenebrionoidea, containing fifteen species in two genera. Most species are found in the Oriental realm where they live in montane forest habitats. The family is considered, based on larval characters as well as sequence-based studies, to be closely related to the Salpingidae.
Potiatuca is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Curuapira is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Eupalessa attenuata is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Eupalessa. It was described by James Thomson in 1868. The genus was originally known as Eupales, named by Dillon and Dillon in 1946; however, this name was preoccupied by the leaf beetle genus EupalesLefèvre, 1885, so it was renamed to Eupalessa by Miguel A. Monné in 2005.
Pseudoechthistatus is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Rhytiphora is a genus of flat-faced longhorn beetles in the Pteropliini tribe of the subfamily Lamiinae. The genus was first described in 1835 by Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville.
Eupogonius fuscovitatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1974. It is known from Guatemala.
Calocosmus contortus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Lingafelter in 2013. The species, whose genus is endemic to the West Indies, was identified on Hispaniola.
Hypsioma carioca is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Martins and Galileo in 2007. It is known from Brazil.
Mesechthistatus taniguchii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Seki in 1944. It is found in Japan and in Jiangxi, China.
Pseudoechthistatus glabripennis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Bi and Lin in 2016. It is known from Vietnam and China.
Pseudoechthistatus pufujiae is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Bi and Lin in 2016. It is known from China.
Pseudoechthistatus sinicus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Bi and Lin in 2016. It is known from China.
Rhytiphora bankii is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775, under the genus Lamia. It is known from Australia, the Philippines, Borneo, Java, Micronesia, New Guinea, Hawaii, Moluccas, Sumatra, Vietnam, and has been introduced into Japan. The Australian species of Prosoplus were synonymised with Rhytiphora in 2013.
Cyclaxyridae are a family of beetles in the superfamily Cucujoidea. The only living genus is Cyclaxyra, with two species endemic to New Zealand. Other species have been named from fossils. They are also known as sooty mould beetles due to the association of Cyclaxyra with sooty mould. The extant species are mycophagous, feeding on spores, conidia, and hyphae.
Zorion guttigerum, commonly known as the Flower long-horn beetle, is an endemic species of beetle in New Zealand. It is found on the flowers of many plant species and feeds on nectar and pollen.
