Macrodontia antonkozlovi

Classification

Class: Insecta
Order: Coleoptera
Family: Cerambycidae

Macrodontia is an American genus of long-horned beetles remarkable for their large size and for the large mandibles of the males in particular. Taxonomy The genus Macrodontia Lepeletier, Audinet-Serville & Lacordaire, 1830 is in some documents credited to Latreille as the authority, but this appears to be an error, possibly due to confusion arising from Latreille having been the authority for the subfamily Prioninae and the family Cerambycidae. It is a genus within the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Prioninae, tribe Macrodontiini.
