Acanthocinus principes - Ponderosa Pine Bark Borer

This is a type of Flat-faced Longhorn Beetle -- Acanthocinus principes -- commonly called a
Ponderosa Pine Bark Borer. So it would seem to be in the right place, as we have plenty of
ponderosa pines here at our house.

From the Bug Guide (bugguide.net) here is the classification:

Kingdom Animalia (Animals); Phylum Arthropoda (Arthropods); Class Insecta (Insects)
Order Coleoptera (Beetles)
Suborder Polyphaga (Water, Rove, Scarab, Longhorn, Leaf and Snout Beetles)
Superfamily Chrysomeloidea (Long-horned and Leaf Beetles)
Family Cerambycidae (Longhorned Beetles)
Subfamily Lamiinae (Flat-Faced Longhorns)
Tribe Acanthocinini
Genus Acanthocinus
