Smodicini
Smodicini is a tribe of longhorn beetles within the subfamily Cerambycinae, family Cerambycidae. The tribe comprises approximately 10 genera distributed across multiple continents, with the genus Smodicum being the most species-rich. Members are small to medium-sized cerambycids with somewhat flattened bodies. Many species exhibit cucujiform (flattened, elongate) body shapes reminiscent of cucujid beetles, a trait reflected in species epithets such as Smodicum cucujiforme.
