Box 141874 Gainesville, FL 32614-1874 U. S. A. http://www.centerforsystematicentomology.org/ Insecta Mundi is a journal primarily devoted to insect systematics, but articles can be published on any non-marine arthropod. Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomencla- ture, checklists, faunal works, and natural history. Insecta Mundi will not consider works in the applied sciences (i.e. medical entomology, pest control research, etc.), and no longer publishes book re- views or editorials. Insecta Mundi publishes original research or discoveries in an inexpensive and timely manner, distributing them free via open access on the internet on the date of publication. Insecta Mundi is referenced or abstracted by several sources including the Zoological Record, CAB Abstracts, etc. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manu- scripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality. One author of each submitted manu- script must be a current member of the Center for Systematic Entomology. Manuscript preparation guidelines are availablr at the CSE website.

A preliminary checklist of the Cerambycidae, Disteniidae, and Vesperidae (Coleoptera) of Peru is pre- sented. Within Cerambycidae, we record five subfamilies, 55 tribes, 345 genera and subgenera, and 714 species. Within Disteniidae, we record one tribe, six genera, and 11 species. We also record one subfamily, one tribe, one genus, and two species within Vesperidae. Four new country records are recorded: one species in the tribe Anacolini (Cerambycidae: Prioninae): Cycloprionus flavus Tippmann, 1953; and three species in the tribe Onciderini (Cerambycidae: Lamiinae): Cacostola simplex (Pascoe, 1859); Marensis simplex (Bates, 1865); Trachysomus cavigibba Martins, 1975. In addition, 161 species recorded are known only from Peru. Keywords. South America; Coleoptera; faunal survey; Neotropical; new country records; taxonomy Resumen.

Sudamérica; Coleoptera; estudio faunístico; neotropical; nuevos registros para el país, taxonomía Introduction With approximately 1,285,200 km2, Peru is the third-largest country in South America. Peru is bordered by Ecuador and Colombia to the north, Brazil and Bolivia to the east, Chile to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. The topography of Peru is highly complex, with 11 ecological regions and 84 life zones (Brack Egg and Vargas 2004). Peru may be divided into three major regions: Andean cordil- lera, Amazonian lowlands, and Pacific coast. The Andean cordillera runs north-south along the length of the country, with peaks exceeding 6,000 m in elevation. Over half of Peru’s landmass is located within the Amazonian lowlands, east of the Andean cordillera. The dry, 3,000 km-long Pacific coast is characterized by desert and scrub habitat, bordering with Chile’s Atacama Desert in the south. Given its ecological diversity, it is perhaps not surprising that Peru is considered a mega diverse country (CONAM 1999). For example, there are 25,000 species of plants (Brack Egg and Vargas 2004), 1,800 species of birds (Schulenberg et al. 2007), and 1,010 species of freshwater fishes recorded (Ortega et al. 2011). Among insects, ~4,000 species butterflies (Lepidoptera: Papilionoidea, Hesperioidea) (G. La- mas, personal communication), ~600 species of tiger moths (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) (J. Grados, personal communication),
