Cerambycini is a tribe of longhorn beetles classified under the subfamily Cerambycinae. It contains at least 77 genera.

Description

Members of Cerambycini are generally large reddish-brown beetles with elongated bodies. The frons 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.^[1][2][3]

Distribution

Members of Cerambycini are abundant in tropical regions and are more or less cosmopolitan in distribution.^[1]
