African Cerambycidae : .,u,i-,oo.> NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE, Vol. X. AUGUST, 1903. No. 2. AFEICAN CERAMBYCIDAE. By Dr. KARL .JORDAN. SuBKAMiLY CERAMBYCINAE. JN 1894 I published the definition of a new jjeniis, Sajikanidiis, containing at that time one new metallic green species, 6'. vii-idesce.ns, wliich did not fit in the allied genera Metalh/ra (1864) Thorns, and Metopoti/ltis (1882) Qiied., according to the descriptions. Since then we have received several species of this relationship, two of which agree well with the descriptions of MetaWji-a stenochioides (1864) Thorns, and Metopotylun fcmoratus (1882) Qned. If my identification is correct, the genera Saphanidus, 'Metalh/ra and Metopotijlus can be distinguished as follows Mi'topoti/lus (1882) Qned., Berl, Ent. Zeit. xxi. p. 326 (type : M. femoratas). Ui>[ier lobes of eyes very short, very widely separated. Antennal segment 3 = 5. Prothorax without lateral tubercle. Intercoxal process of presternum narrow, but reaching nearly to mesosternnm. One species. Metalhjra (1864) Thorns., Sijxt. Ceranib. p. 334 (type : stenochioides). Eyes close together above. Antennal segment 3 = .5. Prothorax without lateral tubercle. Intercoxal jjrocess of prosternum short, triangular. One species. This genus has been omitted by Laeordaire. 14.") iiaphanidus (1894) Jord., Nov. Zool. i. p. (type : viridescens). Third segment of antenna longer than tifth. Prothorax with lateral tubercle or spine. Intercoxal process of prosternum sliort, triangular, (ir as long as in Metopotijlus. Four, species, inclusive of the three new ones described below. The three genera differ from Ihjpoeschrus in the basally truncate pronotum. 1. Saphanidus aeneus spec. uov. ?. Elong.ate. Underside and antenna black-brown, first two segments of antenna and i)art of legs (in tijpe the femora and part of tibiae, in the second specimen only part of tibiae) rnfous ; head and pronotum dark bine-green, elytra liluish green, metallic, glossy ; scutelluni black.

The long thorax bearing a rounded tubercle in front of the side-s])ine, the longer prosternal process and the broader mesosternal one, as well as the non- dentate apex of the elytra, distinguish this sjiecies abundantly from viridescrns. We received this species, and all the others from Benito as well as Batanga, from Monsieur H. Uonckier, Paris. 2. Saphanidus dubius spec. nov. (?. A connecting link between Saphanidus and Allogaster.

A catalogue of the types of Lamiinae (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) housed in the Muséum d'histoire naturelle, Geneva. - A list is provided of 218 holotypes, the syntypes of 15 species and subspecies, and paratypes of 129 species and subspecies of the Lamiinae presently housed in the Muséum d'histoire naturelle, Geneva. Most of the names were published by S. Breuning. As the taxonomic treatment of the Lamiinae was often inade- quate it was necessary to check the original descriptions for all names listed. The authenticity of several "types" is found doubtful. They are indicated by "?HP" or "?PT". Unpublished information from labels is given in square brackets. Illegible handwritten text is indicated by the sign , When a description was published twice, a reference to the second description is given in parentheses. Separate lists are given for type material of varieties published before 1961, and for unavailable names published with designa- tion of type material.

  • Borneo Cerambycidae
    Catalog and Bibliography of Longhorned Beetles from Borneo (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Daniel J. Heffern - Electronic Version, 2005.1 Abstract The genus-group and species-group names for Cerambycidae occuring in Borneo are summarized. All genus-group names, including synonyms and subgenera, are given with their type species. All species-group names and synonyms, specify their original genus. For each species and subspecies from Borneo, their extralimital distributions are included, if applicable. Citations are presented for each name. References for identification keys and illustrations are cited, if available. Complete bibliographies for all cited references are given. There are no proposed changes to nomenclature. Comments about biogeography and taxonomic problems are given. Species that are excluded from the Bornean fauna are listed. An index is included for all genus-group names. Table of Contents Introduction . 2 Biogeographical Relationships . 2 Taxonomy and Literature Discussion . 3 Acknowledgements . 5 List of Subfamilies and Tribes from Borneo . 6 List of Genera and Species from Borneo . 8 Excluded Records . .. 68 Important Nomenclatural Definitions . .. 68 Catalog Notes . .. 69 Bibliography . .. 72 Bibliographical Comments . .. 95 Index of Generic Level Names . .. 97 Checklist and Bibliography of Longhorned Beetles from Borneo Introduction This catalog and bibliography covers the original nomenclature for the longhorned beetles of Borneo. Longhorned beetles include the family Cerambycidae, although some taxonomists treat certain subfamilies as families. In this catalog, the work of Lawrence and Newton (1995) is followed which recognizes thirteen subfamilies in the world: Oxypeltinae, Disteniinae, Philinae, Anoplodermatinae, Parandrinae, Prioninae, Spondylidinae, Vesperinae, Apatophyseinae, Necydalinae, Lepturinae, Cerambycinae and Lamiinae. There has been, and certainly will always be disagreement on the number and relationships of these subfamilies.

Einleitung Über die Cerambycidenfauna Äthiopiens existiert bereits eine Reihe von Publikationen, die beiden jüngsten von ADLBAUER 1999a und 2000a. In diesen wird auch eine Übersicht über die bisher erschienenen Veröffentlichungen vorgestellt. Die umfangreichen Aufsammlungen einer Vielzahl von Arthropoden in den Bergen des südlichen Äthiopiens während verschiedener Reisen in den Jahren 1999 bis 2008 durch den Drittautor erbrachten bei den Cerambyciden mehrere Neufunde für Äthiopien und auch noch gänzlich unbekannte Arten, die nachfolgend gemeinsam mit der übrigen Bockkäfer-Ausbeute präsentiert und beschrieben werden.

  • A List of the Longicorn Coleoptera Collected by Signor Fea in Burma
    VIACtGIO di LEONARDO FEA IN BIRMANIA E REGIONI VICINE LVI. A Lisi of tlie Longlcorn Coleoptera collected by Signor FEA in Burina and the adjoiniDg regioDs , with descriptions of the new Genera and species by CHARLES J. GAHAN, M. A., of thc 8ritish Musciiiii (Nat. History). {Piale J). The Longicorn Coleoptera recorded in the following list amount to a total of about 240 species. Of this number 90 are now described for the first time and, with 3 previously described by D."" Gestro, give 93 as the number of new species contained in the collections made by Signor Fea. But of these not a few were already represented in other collections by specimens which had been brought from Burma, or, as was more often the case, from North India. Where it seemed desirable, as ten- ding to throw some light upon the distri])ution of the species, I have added after each the other localities from which it was known, in addition to those indicated by Signor Fea's specimens. A comparison of these localities will show that the Longicorn fauna of Burma has very much in common with that of Nepal, Sikkim and Assam in Northern Hindostan. This is more parti- cularly true, perhaps J of mountain species, some of which range as far soutli even as Sumatra and Java. There is less resemblance between the Longicorns of South India and Burma, though a few species are common to both which have not so 6 e. J. GAHAN far been recorded from Nortli India. Among- the species that appear to be confined to Burma may be more especially men- tioned those of the fine genus Arclolamia described by D/ Gestro, and some large species wliich I iiave placed in the genus Niphona.

    Checklist of the Cerambycidae, or longhorned beetles (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere 2009 Version (updated through 31 December 2008) Miguel A. Monné, and Larry G. Bezark, Compilers Introduction The Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles, comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera, with body length alone varying from ± 2.5 mm (Cyrtinus sp.) to slightly over 17 cm (Titanus giganteus). Distributed world-wide from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation wherever their host plants are found, cerambycids have long been a favorite with collectors. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent for the past century, but the description of new taxa has accelerated in recent decades thanks to the efforts of Chemsak, Linsley, Giesbert, Martins, Monné, Galileo, Napp, and other workers. This checklist builds upon the efforts of Blackwelder (1946), Chemsak & Linsley (1982), Chemsak, Linsley & Noguera (1992), and Monné & Giesbert (1994), and presently includes nearly 9,000 described species and subspecies, covering the terrestrial hemisphere from Canada and Alaska to Argentina and Chile, and including the Caribbean arc. Adult Cerambycidae, upon which most taxonomic studies in the family have been based, vary widely in their habits. Some species are nocturnal, many are attracted to artificial light, and they also may be found at night on the trunks and branches of their host plants, or on foliage. Diurnal species also may be found on or near their host plants, but many species are attracted to blossoms of shrubs and trees, where they may serve as pollinators.

Abstract: The Catalogue includes all 505 Cerambycidae species of Nepal fauna known up to 2019 with the references to the original descriptions and regional records; 52 species are newly recorded for Nepal fauna. The present work follows the previous publications on Afghanistan and Bhutan Cerambycidae, and is an attempt to summarize all data published up to now on Cerambycidae of Nepal fauna. The last general contribution to the fauna of the country was published by Weigel (2010) in the Palaearctic Cerambycidae Catalogue by Löbl & Smetana (2010). Besides we received several messages on newly collected materials from E. Kučera (all specimens identified by C.Holzschuh are preserved in his E. Kučera’s collection in Soběslav, Czech Republic) and from S. Murzin (all specimensa are preserved in his collection, Moscow). Now 52 species were added to the previously published Catalogue (Löbl & Smetana, 2010). subfamily Disteniinae J. Thomson, 1861 tribe Cyrtonopini Gressitt, 1940 genus Cyrtonops A.
