Pogonocherus hispidulus, the greater thorn-tipped longhorn beetle, is a species of flat-faced longhorns beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Pogonocherus hispidulus can reach a length of 5–8 millimetres (0.20–0.31 in). The basic color of the body is gray-black, with a wide whitish transverse band on scutellum. It has white marked antennae and a long tooth at the apex of each elytron. Adults can be found from April until August. The larvae are polyphagous, feeding in deciduous trees on small dead branches and dead twigs. The development usually takes two years.
This beetle is present in most of Europe, in Caucasus, Russia, the Near East and in Turkey.
This species lives on deciduous trees and shrubs.
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.
Prionus coriarius is a species of longhorn beetle.
Powderpost beetles are a group of seventy species of woodboring beetles classified in the insect subfamily Lyctinae. These beetles, along with spider beetles, death watch beetles, common furniture beetles, skin beetles, and others, make up the superfamily Bostrichoidea. While most woodborers have a large prothorax, powderpost beetles do not, making their heads more visible. In addition to this, their antennae have two-jointed clubs. They are considered pests and attack deciduous trees, over time reducing the wood to a powdery dust. The damage caused by longhorn beetles is often confused with that of powderpost beetles, but the two groups are unrelated. The larvae of the Cerambycidae are white, straight and generally flat-headed, whereas those of the Bostrichidae are white and C-shaped.
Anaesthetis testacea is a species of longhorn beetle. It is a common species in Europe that develops in the dead, terminal twigs of deciduous trees and shrubs.
Callipogon relictus is a species of longhorn beetle which is mostly found in Korea, but also in China and southern part of Russian Far East. It inhabits mixed and deciduous forests. The population of Callipogon relictus is decreasing due to deforestation and uncontrolled collection, and therefore the species are listed in the Russian Red Book.

Exocentrus adspersus is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Mulsant in 1846, and is known from Europe, the Caucasus, and Russia. The beetles inhabit various deciduous trees, although their preferred host plants are oaks. They measure 5–8 millimetres (0.20–0.31 in) long and can live for approximately 2 years.
Exocentrus ritae is a species of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae. It was described by Sama in 1985, and is endemic to Turkey. The beetles inhabit deciduous trees. They measure 3–5 millimetres (0.12–0.20 in) in length, and can live for approximately 1–2 years.
