Xixuthrus Solomonensis
''Xixuthrus'' is a small genus of long-horned beetles, found primarily on Pacific Ocean, Pacific islands, including Indonesia, New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Fiji, and contains some of the largest living insect species, the giant Fijian long-horned beetle and the Taveuni beetle. These beetles have powerful jaws, and should be handled with care when alive. No scientists have yet seen a larva of this genus, although in Fiji, where three different species occur, the natives consider them to be a rare and special delicacy. Systematics The genus ''Xixuthrus'' is currently dividend in two subgenera: ''Xixuthrus'' s. str. and ''Daemonarthra'' Lameere, 1903. The latter differs from the former in the apically acute (rather than rounded) lobes of the third tarsal segment.

Xixuthrus Heros
The giant Fijian long-horned beetle (''Xixuthrus '') is native to the island of Viti Levu in Fiji, and is one of the largest living insect species, with specimens around 15 cm long, excluding legs, antennae, or jaws. It is closely related to the Taveuni beetle, which is only marginally smaller. These beetles have powerful jaws, and should be handled with care when alive—when threatened, they produce a loud and fearsome hissing noise by squeezing air out from under their elytra. Various websites and other resources incorrectly indicate that this species is extinct Extinction is the termination of a kind of organism or of a group of kinds (taxon), usually a species. The moment of extinction is generally considered to be the death of the last individual of the species, although the capacity to breed and ...; it is not, though the forest habitat on its home island is somewhat limited, so the beetle is potentially quite vulnerable.
