Wikipedia, Dec. 5, 2008 (The longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae; also known as long-horned beetles, or, more archaically longicorns) are a cosmopolitan family of beetles)
Cerambycids.com WWW site, Dec. 5, 2008 (Cerambycidae; commonly known as: longhorned beetles, longicorns, capicorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles, or sawyer beetles; comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera; cerambycids)
2016053311: Lingafelter, Steven W., Photographic guide to longhorned beetles of Bolivia, 2017: ECIP galley (Longhorned woodboring beetles include four families totaling nearly 40,000 species; the families include: Vesperidae (including Anoplodermatinae), Disteniidae (often treated as a subfamily), and Cerambycidae (including the subfamilies Parandrinae, Prioninae, Lepturinae, Cerambycinae, and Lamiinae))
Correspondence from Steven W. Lingafelter, December 2016 (Disteniidae are in a different family than Cerambycidae. All four families (Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, Oxypeltidae, Vesperidae) are collectively referred to as longhorned beetles; while the terms longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles are used for Cerambycidae + the other families, most of those terms are obsolete and not in use in today's literature. Longhorned beetles (or longhorn beetles or Longhorned woodboring beetles) are the common names used today for Cerambycidae + allied families)

Communication with LC's Policy and Standards Division, December 15, 2016 (the references: Lamiidae, Lepturidae, and Prionidae were removed as they are families which should be established as needed; Spondylidae (Insects) and Tetropiidae have been removed as they are a synonyms for Cerambycoidea subfamilies)
