Family	Cerambycidae
Sub Family
Description	longhorn beetles
Background to Family	The larvae are typically wood-feeders in stressed or dead trees, where they exploit particular parts of the host; a few species feed on fungi associated with wood decay. Longhorns are usually polyphagous in either coniferous or deciduous trees, but they may display a preference for certain hosts. Other species are relatively specialised on healthy trees and herbaceous plants, with one species inducing galls. Many longhorn beetles generally do not to feed as adults (Prioninae, Spondylidinae, and Cerambycinae) although others consume flower pollen (Lepturinae) or the foliage of larval host plants (Lamiinae). Numerous species are pests of standing or cut timber.

Notes	Old data currently unassessed by a specialist for changes in nomenclature, errors in original sources, and misspellings. New material added from Rejzek, 2006 (Cerambycidae, pp. 121-142. In Cooter, J. and Barclay, M.V.L.: A Coleopterist's Handbook, 4th edn. Amateur Entomologists' Society, UK).; Interactions reported by Duffy (1953) may either include adults imported with timber, or omit the geographic location (e.g. the interactions for Cerambyx spp. almost certainly do not refer to historic records in the wild in Britain).;
