| phylum | Arthropoda | The harlequin beetle (Acrocinus longimanus) is a large and distinctly colored species of longhorn beetle from the Neotropics. The head-and-body of this beetle measures 4.3 to 7.5 cm (1.7–3.0 in) long. Male and female harlequin beetles have similar color patterns and reach a similar body size, but the species is sexually dimorphic in the foreleg length and shape: In large males, the forelegs are greatly extended, up to 15 cm (6 in) long, being twice the length as in females with the same body size.
