Acanthocinini
Acanthocinini is a large tribe of flat-faced longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) described by Émile Blanchard in 1845. The tribe exhibits exceptional diversity in tropical regions and includes numerous genera with cryptic, bark-mimicking coloration. Members are characterized by their orthognathous head orientation, where mouthparts are directed downward rather than forward. The tribe contains economically significant wood-boring species and has been subject to extensive taxonomic revision, particularly in North America.
