Taxonomy It should be noted that no taxonomic or nomenclatural changes are proposed in Longicorn ID. We feel that an identification tool is not the appropriate outlet for such changes, and any inconsistencies herein are purely out of error, rather than an explicit taxonomic statement. As with any taxon of this size (i.e., 40,000 described species), there is uncertainty regarding the classification of several taxa. Not surprisingly, a few species are currently classified in one subfamily, but may be soon transferred to another. For example: Acideres ricaudii Guérin-Méneville, 1858 is currently classified in Aegosomatini (Prioninae); however, several authors have questioned this classification (e.g., Vives et al., 2008), and at least one expert believes it should be classified in the subfamily Cerambycinae. Blosyropus spinosus Redtenbacher, 1868 is currently classified in Lepturini (Lepturinae), but according to at least one expert, should be classified in the subfamily Cerambycinae, tribe Phlyctaenodini.
