Jugular-horned beetles

Definition

A presumed group of beetles, but there is no known family named Lymexeylidae in entomology. The correct family might be Lymexylidae (ship-timber beetles), though they are not characterized by prominent horns on their heads.

Etymology

From Latin 'jugularis', meaning 'pertaining to the throat' and 'horn', referring to the shape of the horn.

Example

The Jugular-horned beetle is known for its large, prominent horn which can be used for fighting and attracting mates.
