Adetus leucostigma is a species within this family that exhibits these characteristic long antennae, along with a robust body structure. Members of the Cerambycidae family, commonly referred to as longhorn beetles, are distinguished by their remarkably long antennae, which often extend beyond the length of their bodies. The species name "leucostigma" is likely derived from the Greek words "leuco," meaning white, and "stigma," meaning mark or spot, indicating a particular pale or white marking on the beetle's exoskeleton.
