Large antennae on a longhorn beetle. Antennae (sg.: antenna) (sometimes referred to as "feelers") are paired appendages used for sensing in arthropods. Antennae are connected to the first one or two segments of the arthropod head. They vary widely in form but are always made of one or more jointed segments.
Oplatocera is a genus of longhorn beetle with about ten species distributed in Asia. The genus is identified by the wide mandibles without teeth on their inner edge with the base being hairy. The antenna base has a thick joint and the third segment is longer than the fourth and the segments shorten from base to tip.
The binomial genus and species names are both derived from the Ancient Greek for "four eyes." As in many longhorn beetles, the antennae are situated very near the eye–in the red milkweed beetle, this adaptation has been carried to an extreme: the antennal base actually bisects the eye (See Fig. 1).
