Taeniotes scalatus is a species of flat-faced longhorn beetle in the subfamily Lamiinae of the family Cerambycidae. [1]
Taeniotes scalatus can reach a length of 30–40 millimetres (1.2–1.6 in). Basic color of body is black, with a yellow dorsal streak and small spots. Larval host plants are cultivated figs ( Ficus carica ), Artocarpus altilis , Artocarpus integrifolius , Brosimum utile , Castilla elastica , Morus alba and Coffea arabica . [2] These nocturnal flat-faced longhorn beetles can be found all year round, especially from March to June. [3]
This species is very common and widely distributed in the Azores, in the Nearctic realm, in Mexico, and in Central America and northern South America (Belize, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Venezuela). [1] [2] [4] [5] [6]
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.
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.
