Plistonax is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae. Plistonax is a Neotropical genus of flat-faced long-horned beetles (tribe Acanthoderini).1 Originally, scientists described Plistonax with nine species but lacked clear diagnostic traits, leading to unstable classification.1 Plistonax is polyphyletic, where Plistonax insolitus emerged as a lone lineage.1
