Review (by Malcolm Storey)

A review of the British longhorn beetles.

Identification is mainly from pictures, although there is a key to "seven confusing genera with plain elytra". Species accounts give the length range (excluding antennae), highlight the distinguishing features and summarise larval and adult habitats, season for adults, distribution and frequency.

Examine in the Hand ( with x15 or x20 hand lens is also useful)
