Semiotus ligneus is a species of click beetle from Central and South America.[1]
It grows to a total length of 15–44 millimetres (0.6–1.7 in),[1] and is 3.7–4.2 times as long as it is wide.[2] The larvae are 27 mm (1.1 in) long.[2] It closely resembles seed sheaths, which provides it with effective camouflage.[3]
S. ligneus is the most frequently collected species in the genus Semiotus.[2] Its closest relative is Semiotus serraticornis.[2]
