Description and Distribution

[edit]

Adetus pinima is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, described by Martins and Galileo in 2003. This species is known to inhabit regions in Peru. Adult individuals exhibit sexual dimorphism in size, with males and females measuring approximately 8.3 to 8.8 millimeters in length. Observations indicate that the flight period for A. pinima occurs in June. As with other members of the genus Adetus, which belongs to the subfamily Lamiinae, A. pinima is likely associated with forested habitats, where larvae develop within woody plants, contributing to the decomposition of dead wood and nutrient cycling/[2]
