Taeniotes farinosus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758, originally under the genus Cerambyx .
This species is known from Colombia, Brazil, Guyana, French Guiana, Suriname, Argentina, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Paraguay and Peru. [1] [2]
Taeniotes farinosus can reach a body length of about 25–33 mm (0.98–1.30 in). [2] Body is elongate, black or dark brown, with a series of yellow-orange spots on the elytra. Antennae are filiform and rather long. Pronotum is approximately subquadrate.
This species may have two generations per year (bivoltine). Adults can be found from January to March and from September to December. [3] These beetles feed on Artocarpus altilis (breadfruit). [4] Larvae usually drill into wood and can cause damages.
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.
