Demonax decorus is a species of long-horned beetle found in southern India and Sri Lanka.[1] It is about 1-1.5 cm long with black and yellowish-olive markings formed by fine pubescence.[2]
These beetles are known to lay their eggs on the trunks of old trees especially of citrus in cultivation and forest trees like Litsea.[3] The larvae are xylophagous.
