Zikanita argenteofasciata (Tippmann, 1960) | |
Zikanita argenteofasciata is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, the subfamily Lamiinae, in the tribe Acanthocerini. It was described by Tippmann in 1960. [1] [2] The insect is local to Peru. [3]
The longhorn beetles are a large family of beetles, with over 26,000 species described, slightly more than half from the Eastern Hemisphere. 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.
