Callipogon is a genus of beetle belonging to the family Cerambycidae.[1] Its closest relatives are the genera Enoplocerus, Ergates and Trichocnemis, with divergence from these lineages estimated to the Cretaceous about 80 million years ago.[2] Most species are found in the Neotropics, with Callipogon relictus being the only palearctic species.
