Dendrobias mandibularis is a species of longhorn beetle in the family Cerambycidae, notable for its robust build and prominent mandibles. It occurs in tropical regions of the Americas, including Mexico, where it is associated with forested habitats. The larvae are wood-borers, developing inside dead or decaying wood, where they feed on plant tissue and contribute to decomposition. Adults are typically nocturnal and may be attracted to lights, while during the day they remain hidden on tree trunks or within crevices.
