A genus of longhorn beetles characterized by elongated antennae and body shape.
From Greek ellops, possibly from 'el-' (well, completely) combined with '-ops' (eye or appearance), referring to the beetle's distinctive appearance.
Ellops beetles are masters of wood—their larvae tunnel through tree trunks for years, and the adult beetles can live surprisingly long for insects, making them important in forest ecosystems.
