Kolkata – 700053. India Keywords: India, Manipur, Cerambycidae, New record Kaushik Mallick Post Graduate Department of 1. Introduction Zoology, Ashutosh College, Manipur is one of the seven states of Northeast India, lies at a latitude of 23°83′ N to 25°68′ N Kolkata – 700026. and a longitude of 93°03′ E to 94°78′ E. The total area covered by the state is 22,347 km². The India natural vegetation occupies an area of about 14,365 km² which is nearly 64% of the total Udipta Chakraborti, geographical area of the state and which attracts a large number of forest pests. Junior Research Fellow, Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata – 700053. The members of the family Cerambycidae are commonly known as longhorn beetles or round- India headed borer beetles, is one of the notorious groups of pest due to their diurnal and Amitava Majumder nocturnal activities. It includes 35,000 species under 4,000 genera in 11 subfamilies from the Junior Research Fellow, Zoological Survey of India, world Lawrence, 1982 [1]. Major works on Cerambycid fauna of Manipur has been made by Kolkata – 700053. Breuning (1936) [2] and Gahan (1906) [3]. Afterwards, Mukhopadhyay and Halder (2004) [4] have India been reported 44 species under 40 genera of which two species were identified up to generic level. Beside this, Ghate et al. (2012) [5] also enriched the cerambycid fauna of this state. In

[6] addition to this, Thakur et al. (2012) added rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) and Pseudonemophas versteegi (Ritsema, 1881) in the Cerambycid fauna of Manipur and reported

in the publication on Biodiversity of Agriculturally Important in North Eastern Corresponding Author: Himalaya. Present communication reports Dorysthenes (Lophosternus) huegelii (Redtenbacher, Priyanka Das Junior Research Fellow, 1848) and Olenecamptus bilobus (Fabricius, 1801) for the first time from this state. This is the Zoological Survey of India, first consolidated checklist of 50 species under 40 genera of 24 tribes belonging to 5 subfamilies Kolkata – 700053, India. of the family Cerambycidae reported from Manipur state.
