Most species belong to the subfamilies Cerambycinae and Laminae which are prevalent in the native fauna as well. Th e alien species mainly established during the period 1975–1999, arriving predominantly from Asia. France, Spain and Italy are by far the most invaded countries. All species have been introduced accidentally. Wood-derived products such as wood- packaging material and palettes, plants for planting, and bonsais constitute invasive pathways of increasing impor- tance. However, only few species have yet colonized natural habitats outside parks and gardens.

Coleóptera, Cerambycidae, Togo. Einleitung Vor wenigen Jahren haben wir in einer ersten Mitteilung über 56 Arten von Bock- käfern aus Togo berichtet (Adlbauer & Mourglia 1995). In diesem zweiten Teil wird die UF Lamiinae behandelt, die generell in den wärmeren Ländern den Hauptteil der Cerambycidenfauna stellt. Das Verhältnis Lamiinae/ restliche Cerambycidae verlagert sich um so mehr zugunsten der Lamiinae, je näher sich der jeweilige Lebensraum am Äquator befindet.

It is, of course, recognized that such a line is b u purely arbitrary but it is used as a matter of convenience.

Mots clés Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae (Lamiaires), Types. ABSTRACT For Coleoptera specialists we propose hereafter an inventory of 1.109 species represented by type specimens and belonging to 46 tribes of the subfamilly Lamiinae. Key words Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae (Lamiaires), Types. 4 AVANT-PROPOS Nous poursuivons ici la publication de la liste du matériel typique conservé dans les collections de la Section d'Entomologie de l'Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique. Les motifs et les principes de ces publications ont été exposés dans la première liste consacrée aux Lampyridae (R. DAMOISEAU, 1967, Bull. Inst. r. Sci. nat. Belg., 43 (8)). En raison de certaines améliorations apportées dans le classement des collections, un mode de présentation du texte quelque peu différent a, été adopté et nous pensons qu'il est utile de reprendre ci-dessous les principes de base exposés en 1987 dans le N°42 des Documents de travail.
