Parandrinae is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). This subfamily includes only a few genera. Atypical for cerambycids, the antennae are quite short, and the tarsi have 5 easily visible segments; they are thus rather similar in appearance to stag beetles.
Parandrinae contains the following genera: [1]
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 Prioninae are a subfamily of Cerambycidae. They are typically large (25–70 mm) and usually brown or black. The males of a few genera sport large mandibles that are used in fights with other males, similar to stag beetles. These beetles are commonly nocturnal and are attracted to light. The majority of the Prioninae whose biology is known are borers whose larvae feed on rotting wood or roots.
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.
Friedrich F. Tippmann was a Hungarian entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera, especially the Cerambycidae.
Derobrachus geminatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. For over 100 years, this species was confused with the related species Derobrachus hovorei; essentially all literature prior to 2007 therefore uses the name geminatus for the wrong species, while the true geminatus was known under the junior name Derobrachus forreri. It is an uncommon species but fairly large, reaching 70 mm in length, that can be found from southern Arizona and Texas to Sinaloa and Baja California Sur.
The Disteniidae are a small family of beetles in the superfamily Chrysomeloidea, traditionally treated as a group within the Cerambycidae.
The Vesperidae are a small family of beetles, normally classified within the family Cerambycidae, of heterogeneous aspect but all characterised by larval stages related to roots of herbaceous plants or trees
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.
The N. brunnea is a species of the longhorn beetle family, subfamily Parandrinae. Its common names include pole borer and longhorned beetle. The longhorned beetle grows between 8 and 20 mm (0.79 in) and is yellowish-brown or reddish-brown in colour. It is the only longhorned beetle to not have longer antennae. In addition, they are serrate. Its range includes the entire eastern portion of North America. It can be seen between March and November.
Dorcasominae is a subfamily of the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae).
Compsocerini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Methiini is an obsolete tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, now placed in the Xystrocerini.
Neoibidionini was a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, but now normally placed in the Ibidionini.
Oemini is an obsolete tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, now placed in the Xystrocerini.
Piezocerini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Rhinotragini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Rhopalophorini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Tillomorphini is a tribe of beetles in the subfamily Cerambycinae, containing the following genera:
Colobotheini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
