Taxonomy and Description
Larissimus is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorn beetles. Members of this genus are characterized by their elongated bodies and long antennae, which are typical features of the Cerambycidae family. The genus Larissimus was established to classify certain species within the subfamily Lamiinae, known for their diverse forms and ecological roles. Species within this genus are primarily found in forested regions, where they play a role in the decomposition of dead wood and nutrient cycling.[3][4][5]
