It could be a Titanus giganteus which would make it a very valuable beetle, but it's definitely some kind of longhorn beetle with the general taxonomy: Coleoptera>Cerambycidae>Prioninae

I suspect the label means they are beetles from the country of Chile.

I think its a very similar species, but not Titanus, giganteus, look at the feet of the beetles in both pictures.
