Cacia is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae.[1]

Description

Cacia species typically are black with some kind of pale yellow patterns over the body and legs, usually thick spots or detailed speckles. Like other species in the subfamily Lamiinae, they have fairly pale markings, and their colors are not as bright yellow as some species within the family Cerambycidae, or longhorns. Cacia beetle antennae are slightly longer than the length of their bodies, compared to some Lamiinae with incredibly long antennae.
