Stenoderus suturalis, commonly known as the stinking longicorn, is a species of longhorn beetle found in southern parts of Australia, including Western Australia.[1] Growing to about 20 mm, the legs, head and thorax are glossy black.[2] The elytra is a coloured orange.[1]
When threatened, the stinking longicorn will release a stinking fluid from glands near the eyes,[1][3] located laterally near the mandibular articulations.[4]
