A type of [[beetle]] with large and distinctive mandibles that resemble the [[antlers]] of stags (male [[deer]]), hence the name.

Characteristics of stag beetles include partial to complete division of the eyes by a canthus, geniculate antennae, and distinctly separated coxae. The body is typically elongate and slightly flattened.

Stag beetles are not to be confused with [[rhinoceros beetle|rhinoceros beetles]].
