Description

Members of Cerambycini are generally large reddish-brown beetles with elongated bodies. The frons

Frons

Frons is the term used to describe the frontal area of an insect's head. It covers the upper part of the face above the clypeus and below and between the antennae. It supports the pharyngeal dilator muscles and usually bears an ocellus . The term itself is derived from the Latin frons "forehead"....

 have pronounced furrows. The eyes are large, coarsely faceted, and deeply curving inwards. The antennae are generally long, with the segments closest to the body exhibiting thickening at their apical ends. The pronotum is ridged across or diagonally, usually with spines or other sharp projections at the sides. The elytra are thinly covered in hair and are rectangular or slightly tapering. The claws are prominent.

Distribution

Members of Cerambycini are abundant in tropical regions and are more or less cosmopolitan

Cosmopolitan distribution

In biogeography, a taxon is said to have a cosmopolitan distribution if its range extends across all or most of the world in appropriate habitats. For instance, the killer whale has a cosmopolitan distribution, extending over most of the world's oceans. Other examples include humans, the lichen...
