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 insect 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 Batocera 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 Insects 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.

Altogether, 8 species under 3 subfamilies are already reported from Sunderban Biosphere Reserve. Present communication reports Batocera rufomaculata (De Geer, 1775) for the first time from this Biosphere reserve. Keywords: Sunderban Biosphere Reserve, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae, Batocera Introduction Sunderban region in India is 9600 sq km (4200 sq km of Reserved Forest and 5400 sq km of non-forest, inhabited region) which constitutes the Sunderban Biosphere Reserve (SBR). Indian Sunderban is bound on the west by river Muriganga and on the east by rivers Harinbhahga and Raimangal. Administrative boundary of the Sunderban is spread over two districts i.e. North 24-Parganas (Hingalganj, Hasnabad, Haroa, Sandeskhali - I,II, and Minakhan blocks) and South 24-Parganas (Sagar, Namkhana, Kakdwip, Patharpratima, Kultali, Mathurapur-I,II, Jaynagar-I,II, Canning-I,II, Basanti and Gosaba blocks).The extent of mangrove Reserve Forests in Indian Sunderban is around 4260 sq km, out of which 55% is under land vegetation cover and balance 45% is under water body/ inter-tidal zone. Studies on beetles and weevils (Coleoptera) in Sunderban region is very poor.

Abstract: The Catalogue includes all 78 Cerambycidae species of Afghanistan fauna known up to 2019 with the references to the original descriptions; 22 species were not mentioned for Afghanistan in Palaearctic Cerambycidae Catalogue by Löbl & Smetana (2010). Bibliography of each species usually includes the geographical information from corresponding publications. Many new taxonomy positions published after 2010 are used here without special remarks. Agapanthia (Epoptes) dahli ustinovi Danilevsky, 2013 stat. nov. is downgraded from the species level. Two species are described as new Phytoecia (Parobereina) pashtunica sp. n. from Afghanistan and Phytoecia (Parobereina) heinzi sp.n. from Pakistan.

The Coleopteran species of forestry and mulberry importance accounts for 73.43 K e y w o r d s % and 35.93 % respectively. The Coleopteran-fauna (47 spp.), spread over 12 families, is found to be infesting forest trees,viz.
