There are four confirmed species in Borneo restricted to old-growth forests, and are considered to be rare. Species of the South-East Asian Toxoderini inhabit beneath the forest canopy. Not much is known regarding their ecology. Males however, are often attracted to lights. [2] [3] One species, Toxodera maxima, can reach 18 cm in total length.[ citation needed]
