Xixuthrus
''Xixuthrus'' is a small genus of long-horned beetles, found primarily on Pacific islands, including Indonesia, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Fiji, and contains some of the largest living insect species, the giant Fijian long-horned beetle and the Taveuni beetle. These beetles have powerful jaws, and should be handled with care when alive. No scientists have yet seen a larva of this genus, although in Fiji, where three different species occur, the natives consider them to be a rare and special delicacy. Systematics The genus ''Xixuthrus'' is currently dividend in two subgenera: ''Xixuthrus'' s. str. and ''Daemonarthra'' Lameere, 1903. The latter differs from the former in the apically acute (rather than rounded) lobes of the third tarsal segment. Subgenus ''Xixuthrus'' Thomson, 1864 * '' Xixuthrus arfakianus'' ( Lansberge, 1884) * '' Xixuthrus axis'' Thomson, 1877 * '' Xixuthrus bufo'' Thomson, 1878 * '' Xixuthrus costatus'' (Montrouzier, 1855) * ''Xixuthrus domingoen ...
