Anoplophora

Anoplophora is a genus of longhorn beetles, family Cerambycidae, native to Asia, with over 50 species currently recognized following a 2002 revision that accepted 36 species and at least nine more described since. Members measure one to five centimeters and display spotted or banded patterns in yellow, blue, purple and white against a dark body, with notably elongated antennae; the structure of the male genitalia is a useful character for telling species apart. Several species, including the Asian long-horned beetle, have become destructive introduced pests of hardwood trees in Europe and North America.
