Oplatocera is a genus of longhorn beetle with about ten species distributed in Asia. The genus is identified by the wide mandibles without teeth on their inner edge with the base being hairy.

The third to seventh antennal segments have spines on the outer margins in some species. [1]

Species are divided into two subgenera and the species currently included in the genus are:
