CERAMBYCIDAE Author: John F. Lawrence, 2001. Classification Suborder Polyphaga, Series Cucujiformia, Superfamily Chrysomeloidea. Description Antenae with 11 segments, filiform or moniliform or pectinate or flabellate. Antennal insertions exposed. Visible portion of procoxa transverse to projecting bellow prosternum with the trochantin concealed to at least partly exposed. Procoxal cavity externally open to closed and internally open to closed. Mesocoxae separated by less than 0.4 X coxal width to 1 coxal width, with mesocoxal cavity laterally open to closed. Tarsal formula rarely 5-5-5 or 5-5-5 but tarsomere 4 reduced and concealed at base of lobe on 3 (pseudotetramerous). Number of ventrites 5 without ventrites connate. Body length 2.5-80 mm. Elongate, usually slender, glabrous or pubescent, with long antennae and raised antennal insertions. Quick identification Cerambycidae are usually easily recognized by the long antennae with raised insertions. Like other members of the Chrysomeloidea, most have distinctive, so-called pseudotetramerous tarsi (first and second figure) with tarsomere 4 reduced and partly enclosed at base of lobed tarsomere 3 (first figure).
