The Michigan Entomological Society 1999 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST NEW RECORDS OF OHIO LONG-HORNED BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) Robert A. Androw! and George D. Keeney2 ABSTRACT Recorded from Ohio for the first time are eleven species of Cerambycidae: Arhopalus rusticus obsoletus, Tetropium schwarzianum, Parelaphidion as persum, Anthophylax attenuatus, Acmaeops proteus proteus, Goes variegatus, Ataxia brunnea, Styloleptus biustus, Eutrichillus biguttatus, and Oberea fiavipes. Confirming records are given for four other species: Tilloclytus gemi natus, Lepturges pictus, Lepturges angulatus and Plectrodera scalator. Tetropium cinnamopterum is tentatively recorded from Ohio from one speci men with questionable data. New biological information is presented for sev eral of the species recorded herein. The family Cerambycidae has been well studied in Ohio over the years, most notably by Josef N. Knull of The Ohio State University. Knull (1946) listed 262 species then known or suspected to occur in the state. Ofthe total, only 222 represented confirmed Ohio records. The new records presented herein increase that total to 237 species confirmed for the state. Revisions of the family by Linsley (1962a, 1962b, 1963, 1964) and Linsley and Chemsak (1972, 1976, 1984, 1995) treated all of the species in North America north of Mexico, reiterating some of Knull's records for Ohio, but giving very few individual records for the state. Their range maps often showed no Ohio records while indicating many records from neighboring states. This may reflect the generality of many of Knull's records, as he often listed species as being "common in Ohio" or "abundant throughout the state" without listing any specific localities ofoccurrence. Since Knull's work, little has been published specifically on the Ceramby cidae of Ohio, and extensive collecting in recent years by the authors has pro duced many additional records and observations. A search of several institu tional collections in Ohio produced little new information as most were well studied by Knull and a very small amount of new material has been added since his studies. However, a closer study of the Ohio State University Col lection provided several of the new records, by the correction ofmisidentifica tions. Some of these may have been present during Knull's study of the mate rial, but as most involved the taxonomically difficult genus Lepturges it is understandable how the specimens could have been misidentified, as they often are in many large collections of Cerambycidae. From these observa tions, we are certain that some of the specimens considered by Knull to be lCarnegie Museum of Natural History, Section of Invertebrate Zoology, 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. 2The Ohio State University, Department of Entomology, 1735 Neil Avenue, Colum bus, OH 43210. 2 THE GREAT LAKES ENTOMOLOGIST Vol. 32/ No. 1 & 2 Lepturges confluens (Haldeman) were in fact Lepturges angulatus (LeConte). We also conclude that most, if not all, of the published Ohio records for Pare laphidion incertum (Newman) represent specimens of Parelaphidion asper sum (Haldeman), a species common in Ohio. The authors have not yet seen a specimen of P incertum from the state. The following abbreviations have been used for the collections in which the specimens have been deposited: RAAC = the Robert A. Androw Collec tion; GDKC the George D. Keeney Collection; OSUC the Ohio State Uni versity Collection; CMNH = Carnegie Museum of Natural Collection; JAGC Joseph A. Green Collection; EGCC = the Eric G. man Collec tion; SJSC Steven J. Schott Collection; MJSC = the Mic J. Silvaggio Collection. Following each collection record are parentheses containing the number taken on that date and the collection in which the spec imens have deposited. Unless otherwise stated, specimens were col lected by the owner of the collection in which they are deposited. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Subfamily Aseminae Arhopalus rusticus obsoletus (Randall). Knull (1946:150) referred to this species as "sure to occur in Ohio", Linsley (1962a:75) gave the range as "Boreal North America west to Rocky Mountains ...". We confirmed the pres ence of this species in Ohio by the capture of five specimens, four at white light, one at UV light. NEW STATE RECORD.
