Out of 24 species, 5 species, Stran- galiella emotoi, Idiostrangalia quadrisignata, Rosalia (Eurybatus) nakanishii, Glaphyra shimai and Rhaphuma nishidai are described as new and 6 species, Xylotrechus quadripes Chevrolat, X. incurvatus contorsus Gahan, Chlorophorus shoreae Gardner, Rhapkuma fulgurata Gahan, Aglaophis fasciata Thomson and Artimpaza obscura Gardner are recorded from Nepal for the first time. The Cerambycidae of Nepal have been rather poorly known to science since Hope (1381), in comparison with the surrounding regions such as Sikkim, Assam and Burma or even Kashmir and Bhutan. Recently Villiers et Ch,fijB (1966) and Hayashi (1979, 1980) have contributed toward the knowledge of the Nepalese Cerambycidae based on the material brought back by Japanese expe- ditions. This paper reports the results of our study on the material of the sub- families Prioninae, Lepturinae and Cerambycinae of the family Cerambycidae taken by the Kyushu University Scientific Expedition to the Nepal Himalaya in 1) Contribution from the Entomological Laboratory, Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu Univer- sity, Fukuoka (Ser. 3, No. 99). 2) Results of the Kyushu University Scientific Expedition to the Nepal Himalaya.

The material was collected by the members of the expedition; A. Naka- nishi in 1971, and H. Shima, Y. Nishida, J. Emoto and H. Makihara in 1972. Their collecting routes are from Bogara to Dobang, Central Nepal in 1971, and from Biratnagar to Thudam, East Nepal in 1972 (Map 1). TIBET Map 1.

  • Avishkar Volume 2-2012
    Avishkar – Solapur University Research Journal, Vol. 2, 2012 PREFACE It is indeed a great privilege to write on this happy occassion on “Avishkar – Solapur University Research Journal”; which is dedicated to the research work of undergraduate and postgraduate students. The idea is to provide a platform to researchers from all disciplines of knowledge viz. languages, social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, technology, education, etc. to publish their research work and inculcate the spirit of research, high integrity, ethics and creative abilities in our students. The Solapur University; one of the youngest Universities situated on a sprawling 517 acre campus, was established by the provisions of the Maharashtra University Act 1994 by converting the three departments namely Physics, Chemistry and Geology; functioning as P.G. Centre of the then Shivaji University. The University aims for the holistic development of the students with a motto of “Vidya Sampannatta.” Since, I joined as Vice-Chancellor of Solapur University on 11 th December, 2012, I have been busy toying with the idea of making university a pioneering institute for higher education both in terms of teaching/learning and Research. Both are important dimensions of education which can determine the fate of nation when we are facing new challenges with micro and macro implications. Solapur University has placed it’s bet on the education of youth as it is the best possible investment in it’s human resource for a society/country. In order to promote excellence in study and research and to ensure equitable development we encourage and equip the aspiring students to succeed in their studies.

Subfamily Lamiinae with 12 tribes followed by Cerambycinae with 5 tribes, and Prioninae with 2 tribes were the taxonomic arrangements for these. Of these 12, 7, 2 species from 11, 1, and 2 genera belong to the subfamilies Lamiinae, Cerambycinae and Prioninae, respectively.

The present study has consolidated longhorn beetle fauna of Bihar, which comprising 15 species, 14 genera, 11 tribes under K e yw or ds three subfamilies. Among the subfamilies, the Cerambycinae and Lamiinae Longhorn Beetles shares seven species each and Prioninae consist of one longhorn beetle (Cerambycidae: Coleoptera) species. The sal heartwood borer, Hoplocerambyx spinicornis (Newman, 1842), Batocera rufomaculata (Degeer, 1775), Trirachys holosericeus (Fabricius, 1787) are considered as the most devastating insect pests of forest in Bihar and adjacent states. Introduction The longhorn beetles are known for their to provide the complete document of diversity and they are cosmopolitan in longhorn beetles from India. nature. Most of the cases both adult and grubs are pestiferous in nature by attacking Catalogue of Longhorn Beetles of Bihar various forest, plantation and fruit crop. The study of the longhorn beetles in between Sub-family: Cerambycinae northern and eastern India is very poorly documented.
