Longhorned beetles (Coleoptera: Chhattisgarh State.

Ghate 4 & Kailash Chandra 5 parts of Chhattisgarh during the Online 0974–7907 Print 0974–7893 period July 2011 to December 1,2,3,5 Zoological Survey of India, Prani Vigyan Bhavan, M- Block, New Alipore, Kolkata, West Bengal 700053, India 2012.

Study area: Chhattisgarh is a newly carved out state from Madhya Pradesh in 2001. The state The pioneering taxonomic and biological extends between 17046’–2408’N and 80015’–84024’E investigations on cerambycid beetles in India were in the central Indian landscape having a total area of initiated in the 20th century. Gahan (1906) was the 1,35,194km2. Nearly 44% of the area is covered by first to compile and describe the known cerambycid forests but a major part (35,736.239km2) is outside beetles, excluding Lamiinae, from the Indian region in protected areas. Biogeographically, the state belongs the ‘Fauna of British India’. After that, extensive work on to the Deccan Plateau and includes provinces, 6D-Chota the diversity and distribution of cerambycids from India Nagpur Plateau, 6C-Eastern Highland and 6E-Central is particularly lacking. Highland (Rodgers et al. 2002). Some scattered publications on longhorned beetles Methods: Cerambycid beetles are best collected at of India by White (1853), Sengupta & Sengupta night with the help of a light trap. Mercury bulbs (160 (1981), Khan & Maiti (1983), Basak & Biswas (1985, Watt) were used to attract insects on a white sheet of 1993), Biswas & Basak (1992), Raychaudhuri & Saha cloth measuring approximately 2x2 m. The coordinates (2000), Mukhopadhyay & Biswas (2000, 2002) and of the collection sites were recorded using GPS (Garmin Mukhopadhyay & Halder (2003, 2004) are available. Oregon 550) which were further used in preparing maps Recently, Sen & Ghate (2006) and Ghate (2012) also of the survey sites in DIVA-GIS (Fig. 1). Specimens were published some information on cerambycid fauna of studied under Leica EZ4 HD binocular microscope for Maharashtra, India. identification. The specimens were identified with the This report is the first report on the family help of available published literature on Cerambycidae cerambycidae from the state of Chhattisgarh after its from India and confirmed by comparing the reference separation from the erstwhile Madhya Pradesh State. collection of National Zoological Collection at Zoological The present study accounts for 10 species of Cerambycid Survey of India, Kolkata. The studied material is deposited beetles belonging to eight genera and six tribes under in the National Zoological Collection, Zoological Survey two subfamilies and constitute a first record from of India, Kolkata.
