"Leptura" longipennis is an extinct species of longhorn beetle that lived in the Oligocene of Germany. It was first described by Georg Statz in 1938, from a fossil of two elytra and a leg found in the Rott Formation. It was originally described as a species of the genus Leptura, but later research has determined it does not belong to that genus, and that it has an uncertain placement in the Lepturinae subfamily.[1][2][3]
