Cerambycidae Checklist: Longhorn Beetles
Longhorn beetles are also known as longicorns, and belong to the Cerambycidae family. They are wood-borers and characterised by exceptionally long antennae, often as long as or longer then the beetle’s body.
Most were identified with the help from the kind folks at www.cerambycoidea.com. Dr Cheong Loong Fah from the National University of Singapore also has a great reference on the Longhorned Beetles in Singapore (no longer online). Thank you!
All photos are of live subjects shot in the field, with the dorsal view selected where available. Click on individual photos for larger views and views from other angles. As specimens were not collected, identifications were done purely based on photographs and may not be 100% accurate.
This page will be updated regularly, please let me know if you spot any mistakes.

Thanks for making this! My parents live in Hong Kong, and my dad sent me a photo he took, knowing I love insects, to ask what kind it was. I Googled “longhorn beetle”, found this site, and was quickly able to identify the exact species (the mango longhorn).
