The name[edit]

"longhorn beetle"? Where on earth did that come from? Stan 01:12, 2 April 2005 (UTC)[reply]

See also?[edit]

What is the purpose of having several species from the family listed under the "see also" heading. I though that was supposed to be more of a internal references and related subjects section. I am changing the heading to "Notable species" instead, although I don't think that is much better of a heading. I would most prefer the entire section to be removed. Anyone else have any thoughts?--Entoaggie09 20:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Long horn beetle (singular) is a single specific Species Ergates faber - which incidentally is not mentioned anywhere in Wikipedia under that name. If there has been a change of genus, then the Ergates faber should redirect, since 99.99% of resources about THE longhorn beetle use that name, Ergates faber. There's no consensus about any other name, just look at the various species databases. The Ergates genus isn't even mentioned under the subfamily. What a travesty. It has an article under Ergates faber in all other languages but English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.249.52.211 (talk) 14:53, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Help with identification[edit]

Can someone help me identify this?

From looking at this page [1] It looks like Dorysthenes(Prionomimus)pici, but it also looks like Image:Ergates_faber01.jpg and Image:Titanus.giganteus.jpg

It cannot be identified unless you can state where it came from. If it is from the United States, for example, then it is a species in the genus Prionus. Dyanega (talk) 17:59, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Snip, I put this under the wrong header, sorry — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.249.52.211 (talk) 14:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
