Narrative

Prioninae are a subfamily of the Cerambycidae. The Prionidae can be recognized by the ridge on each side of the thorax. Some of the Prionidae in the Neotropical Region can become quite large. Callipogon barbatus can be up to almost 12 cm in length. Callipogon armillatus can also be up to 12 cm in length. Titanus giganteus of the Guayanas can become enormous, and specimens of 15 cm are commonly found with rumors of much larger specimens being known.
