Euryphagus is a genus of longhorn beetles native to tropical Asia. It is classified in the family Cerambycidae, subfamily Cerambycinae, and the tribe Trachyderini.[2] The generic name is derived from Greek εὐρύς (eurús, "wide") and φαγεῖν (phageîn, "to eat") referring to the broad mandibles of the males.[3]
