New Records of Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Entomological Collections in Bulgaria НАУКА ЗА ГОРАТА, КН. 1, 2020 FOREST SCIENCE, No 1, 2020 NEw RECORDS OF LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) IN ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS IN BULGARIA Georgi Georgiev Forest research institute, Bulgarian academy of sciences Abstract: during the period 2008-2014, unpublished longhorn beetles in the entomo- logical collections of the Forest research institute, institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research and national museum of natural history in sofia were studied. as a result, 86 taxa belonging to five subfamilies were identified: Prioninae (2 species), lepturinae (29 species and subspecies), spondylidinae (7 species and subspecies), cerambycinae (25 species and subspecies) and lamiinae (23 species and subspecies). in this study, new localities of rare taxa (Aegomorphus krueperi, Cortodera holosericea holosericea, Phymatodes lividus, Pilemia tigrina, Pogonocherus hispidus, Tetrops starkii starkii) were established in Bulgaria. these new records enlarge our knowledge of regional distribution of cerambycids in the country. Key words: cerambycidae, entomological collections, rare species, Bulgaria INTRODUCTION the longhorn beetles (coleoptera: cerambycidae) are relatively well studied in Bulgaria. the results of previous investigations are summarized in two monographs (angelov, 1995; migliaccio et al., 2007), two papers on host plants of xylophagous species (doychev et al., 2017, 2018) and several articles on cerambycid diversity in different mountains of the country (georgiev, 2011; georgiev et al., 2002, 2004, 2005a, 2005b, 2006, 2013, 2018; georgiev, stojanova, 2003; georgiev, hubenov, 2006; migliaccio et al., 2004; rapuzzi, georgiev, 2007, etc.). it must be noted, however, that there is insufficient knowledge about regional distribution of the species. the present work reports information about unpublished records of longhorn beetles in three entomological collections in Bulgaria. MATERIAL AND METHODS in the period 2008-2014, many cerambycid specimens were identified in the entomological collections of the Forest research institute, institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research and national museum of natural history in sofia. the cerambycids are deposited in entomological collections mentioned in the list below with the following abbreviations: [Fri] – Forest research 87 institute; [iBer] – institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research; [nmnhs] – national museum of natural history. the longhorn beetles are listed in systematic order, following the system of danilevsky (2019). RESULTS AND DISCUSION a total of 86 cerambycid taxa were identified in this study. they belong to five subfamilies: Prioninae (2 species), lepturinae (29 species and subspecies), spondylidinae (7 species and subspecies), cerambycinae (25 species and subspecies) and lamiinae (23 species and subspecies).

  • The Slugs of Bulgaria (Arionidae, Milacidae, Agriolimacidae
    POLSKA AKADEMIA NAUK INSTYTUT ZOOLOGII ANNALES ZOOLOGICI Tom 37 Warszawa, 20 X 1983 Nr 3 A n d rzej W ik t o r The slugs of Bulgaria (A rionidae , M ilacidae, Limacidae, Agriolimacidae — G astropoda , Stylommatophora) [With 118 text-figures and 31 maps] Abstract. All previously known Bulgarian slugs from the Arionidae, Milacidae, Limacidae and Agriolimacidae families have been discussed in this paper. It is based on many years of individual field research, examination of all accessible private and museum collections as well as on critical analysis of the published data. The taxa from families to species are sup­ plied with synonymy, descriptions of external morphology, anatomy, bionomics, distribution and all records from Bulgaria. It also includes the original key to all species. The illustrative material comprises 118 drawings, including 116 made by the author, and maps of localities on UTM grid. The occurrence of 37 slug species was ascertained, including 1 species (Tandonia pirinia- na) which is quite new for scientists. The occurrence of other 4 species known from publications could not bo established. Basing on the variety of slug fauna two zoogeographical limits were indicated. One separating the Stara Pianina Mountains from south-western massifs (Pirin, Rila, Rodopi, Vitosha. Mountains), the other running across the range of Stara Pianina in the^area of Shipka pass. INTRODUCTION Like other Balkan countries, Bulgaria is an area of Palearctic especially interesting in respect to malacofauna. So far little investigation has been carried out on molluscs of that country and very few papers on slugs (mostly contributions) were published. The papers by B a b o r (1898) and J u r in ić (1906) are the oldest ones.

Bibliography 273 Abstract The nation-state is now the dominant form of sovereign statehood, however, a century and a half ago the political map of Europe comprised only a handful of sovereign states, very few of them nations in the modern sense. Balkan historiography often tends to minimize the complexity of nation-building, either by referring to the national community as to a monolithic and homogenous unit, or simply by neglecting different social groups whose consciousness varied depending on region, gender and generation. Further, Bulgarian and Serbian historiography pay far more attention to the problem of "how" and "why" certain events have happened than to the emergence of national consciousness of the Balkan peoples as a complex and durable process of mental evolution. This dissertation on the concept of nationality in which most Bulgarians and Serbs were educated and socialized examines how the modern idea of nationhood was disseminated among the ordinary people and it presents the complicated process of national indoctrination carried out by various state institutions.

  • Dilemmas and Orientations of Greek Policy in Macedonia
    DILEMMAS AND ORIENTATIONS OF GREEK POLICY IN MACEDONIA: 1878-1886 by Evangelos Kofos The period between 1878 and 1886, covers the critical years from the Congress of Berlin to the annexation of Eastern Rumelia by Bulgaria, when Greek policy on the Macedonian Question was undergoing a general reappraisal. Balkan historiography tends to view this policy in terms of its adverse effects on the national movements of the other Balkan nationalities; it is understandable1. Now, with the aid of hitherto untapped archival material—mostly from the Archives of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs (AYE) this paper will attempt to examine how Greek policy was formulated, what its aims were and how it was carried out. Prior to the 70’s, the Greeks viewed Macedonia as one of the Ottoman regions which would form part of an enlarged Greek state. The realization of this aspiration was rather a remote one as other regions, closer to the Greek Kingdom—such as Thessaly, Epirus, and of course Crete—had first priority. To support their claim, the Greeks argued on a number of points. Historically, they sought to trace the region’s hellenic ties all the way back to antiquity and Alexander the Great. Ethnologically, they identified the nationality of the inhabitants on the basis of their Church affiliation; and this meant the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Politically, they felt they could move into a vacuum, once the Empire collapsed. Serbia was a small and far away state, while Bulgaria did not even exist an the political map of the Balkans. With such reasoning in the 40’s, 50’s, and even the 60’s, the Greeks of Athens were betraying an ignorance of basic facts about the situation in Macedonia, and the Balkans as a whole.
