Megalofrea decorsei is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Fairmaire in 1901. It is known from Madagascar.[1] Megalofrea decorsei is characterized by its elongated body and long antennae, typical of the Cerambycidae family. The beetle's exoskeleton is often a dark brown or black color, providing effective camouflage in its natural habitat. Like many beetles in its family, Megalofrea decorsei plays a role in the ecosystem by aiding in the decomposition of wood and plant material.[2]
