A molecular phylogenetic study of longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) was undertaken. Fifty species were sequenced representing seven subfamilies and 35 tribes. Sequences were generated from the following genes: 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, 28S rRNA, and histone 3. Parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses were performed. Relationships among subfamilies and tribes are explored.
