In zoological nomenclature, the valid name of a taxon is the correct scientific name for that taxon. The valid name must be used for that taxon, regardless of any other name that may currently be used for that taxon, or may previously have been used. A name can only be valid when it is an available name under the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN); if a name is unavailable, then it cannot be considered either valid or invalid.
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.
Acanthocinini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Blanchard in 1845.
Anoplophora is a genus of beetles in the longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae). They are native to Asia. Most are large and colorful and thus are depicted in artwork and sought after by beetle collectors. The genus also includes several notorious pest insects.
Agapanthiini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Apomecynini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Desmiphorini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Dorcadion is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.
Mimonephelotes enganensis is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Mimonephelotes. It was described by Breuning in 1970. Breuning mistakenly thought the name was a junior homonym of the genus Mimonephelotus and proposed a replacement name, Mimanhammus in 1971, but under the ICZN the two names are not homonyms, so the original genus name is valid.
Phytoecia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae,
Ropalopus is a genus of long-horned beetles in the family Cerambycidae. There are about 20 species of Ropalopus found in Eurasia, and a single species, Ropalopus sanguinicollis, found in the northeastern United States and southern Canada.
Dorcadion scabricolle is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Dalman in 1817. It is known from Azerbaijan, Iran, Armenia, and Turkey.
Deliathis neonivea is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1943, but the original name is a junior homonym of Deliathis nivea so its name was replaced in 2018. It is known from Mexico.
Phytoecia gianassoi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Sama in 2007 and later reclassified to the subgenus Coptosia within the genus Phytoecia.
Phytoecia demelti is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Sama in 2003. It is known from Turkey.
Jordanoleiopus (Polymistoleiopus) annae is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Lazarev & Skrylnyk in 2023. It is known from Oman.
Phytoecia (Parobereina) heinzi is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Lazarev in 2019. It is known from Pakistan.
Phytoecia (Parobereina) pashtunica is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Lazarev in 2019. It is known from Afghanistan.
