Monochamus is a genus of longhorn beetles that are found throughout the world. They are often known as sawyer beetles, as their larvae bore into dead or dying trees, or bark beetles[2]. They are often found in pine or evergreen trees. Some species are know to transmit the nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, which is the cause of pine wilt disease[3].
