Nematini

The Nematini are a tribe of longhorn beetles belonging to the subfamily Cerambycinae. They are characterized by specific morphological traits, often related to their antennae and legs. The precise classification and definition of the Nematini can vary depending on the taxonomic source consulted, as beetle taxonomy is subject to ongoing revision. Generally, identifying characteristics often involve the shape and segmentation of the antennae, the structure of the legs (particularly the tarsi), and features of the pronotum and elytra (wing coverings). The geographic distribution of Nematini species is varied, with members found across multiple continents. Details of their life cycle, host plants, and specific behaviors differ considerably among the various genera and species classified within the tribe. Further research into individual species is necessary to understand the full biological diversity within the Nematini.
