The chapter summarize current knowledge of morphology, biology, distribution and classification of longhorn beetles (family Disteniidae) on a worldwide basis. The third beetle volume of the worldwide compendium Handbook of Zoology covers the huge informal group called Phytophaga, comprising the longhorn beetles, leaf beetles and weevils (including bark beetles). The longhorn beetles, treated in chapters 2.1 to 2.4 (pages 16–177) by Petr Svacha and John F. Lawrence, are accepted as four families, the Vesperidae (about 80 species), Oxypeltidae (3 species), Disteniidae (over 300 species) and Cerambycidae (about 35,000 species). The first three are small to moderate and absent in some parts of the world (in the extreme, the Gondwanan Oxypeltidae are restricted to Chile and adjacent part of Argentina within the South American range of the tree genus Nothofagus on which they are nearly monophagous), whereas the huge Cerambycidae are worldwide. Each chapter summarizes morphology, biology, distribution and classification of the respective family and its subgroups, with comments on relationships where possible. The classification is treated down to subfamilies or occasionally tribes.
