Приведен аннотированный список 177 видов надсемейства Cerambycoidae, отмеченных в Уссурийском заповеднике и сопредельных территориях. Представлены сведения о распространении редких видов (Callipogon relictus и Rosalia coelestis) на территории заповедника. Beetles of the superfamily Cerambyсoidae are among the best-studied insect groups. The superfamily currently consists of 4 families: Disteniidae Thomson, 1860, Cerambycidae Latreille, 1802, Oxypeltidae Lacordaire, 1869, and Vesperidae Mulsant, 1839. The increased interest in these insects is mostly due to their unique appearance and size. The fauna of longicorn beetles of the Russian Far East started to be actively studied in the 1920s, after the researchers of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences had visited the southern part of this region and obtained a large sample collection. The first paper by T.P. Samoilov (1936) was based on the results of this and the previously made collection and focused on the faunistic-ecological characterization of the fauna of longicorn beetles of the southern Primorskii krai.

Sharp and Muir (1912) published a work on a comprehensive survey of the organs in the Coleoptera, and discussed the phylogeny of this order. Recently, Jeannel and Paulian (1944) proposed a new system of classification of the. order, basing on not only characters generally used but also on the structure of male genitalia upon which they made a detailed comparative anatomy. On the other hand, Muir (1915, '18), Singh Pruthi (1924a, '24b) and Metcalfe (1932) reported on the development of the organs of some beetles. As regards the male genitalia of the Cerambycidae, except the works above mentioned, there have been published only a few comparative studies by Bugnion (1931) and Zia (1936). The organs of the Cerambycidae have not yet been studied in detail, and have scarcely been used as the taxonomic character. The author studying a comparative anatomy of the male genitalia of 101 Japanese species of Cerambycidae, confirmed that the results are generally coincided with the traditional classification of the group.

Biodiversity Data Journal 5: e22296. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.5.e22296 Abstract Urban green spaces play an important role in maintaining urban biodiversity in the Tokyo Metropolis, Japan. Plant-dependent insect assemblages such as Cerambycidae, in particular, are likely influenced by the existence of green spaces in Tokyo’s urbanised environments. This study is the first comprehensive inventory of the cerambycid fauna in the Komaba Campus of the University of Tokyo. A cerambycid assemblage composed of a total of 25 species was recorded within the Komaba Campus site and compared to cerambycid assemblages in nine other green spaces distributed throughout Tokyo. The results indicated that the species number in the campus was similar to that recoded in a similar-sized green space in coastal Tokyo.

  • Updated 02.03.2021
    Updated 02.03.2021 #1 Archandra caspia was recorded (as Parndra) for Turkmenia (Kopet-Dag) and for Transcaspean Iran (Gorgan) - (Araujo-Arigony, 1977) on the base of Lameere (1902): "habite a Transcaucasie, le nord de la Perse et la Turcomanie." The records were regarded by A.Semenov (1902) as wrong. Archandra Lameere, 1912 was regarded as a genus by A.Santo-Silva (2001). #2 According to Svacha (1987), Callipogon and Ergates belong to different tribes. #3 Ergates faber was recorded for Central Russia (two districts of Mordovia: Ichalki and Bolshie Berezniaki) by Z.A. Timraleev (2007). According to personal communication by M.Rejzek (15.10.2004): “Ergates faber was really described in 1761 and published in Fauna Svecia [in fact 1760](not in Systema Naturae, ed. 12, as written by many authors such as Aurivillius in Catalogus coleopterorum, Plavilstshikov (1936) or Villiers (1978). If you have a look at Systema Naturae ed. 12: 622, you will see that Linnaeus himself refers to “Fn. Svec.”. Bily & Mehl (Fauna Scandinavica) already wrote 1761.” Ergates faber m. hartigi Demelt, 1963 and E.f. ssp. alkani Demelt, 1968 were regarded by Villiers (1978) as aberrations of females. #4 Prinobius is a separate genus, according to Villiers (1978). According to Vives (2000), Macrotoma Serv.,1832-June is a junitor homonym of Macrotoma Laporte,1832-April (Diptera) and a new name was proposed: Prinobiini Vives, 2000. Macrotoma Serv.,1832 was maintained by D.Heffern et al., 2006, so Prinobiini is superfluous. According to Sama (1994): Prinobius myardi Muls., 1842 = Prionus scutellaris Germ., 1817 nec Olivier, 1795 (Pyrodes).

A complete systematic list of longicorn beetles (Cerambycidae) of Caucasus with new and known records from Caucasian parts of Turkey and Iran based on the concept of Caucasus Ecoregion. Munis Entomology & Zoology, 16 (2): 564-662] ABSTRACT: This article offers a new perspective of the regional acceptance of the Caucasus based on the Caucasus ecoregion. The traditional regional acceptance of the Caucasus is discussed on the base of Transcaucasia’s borders especially. Accordingly, the Caucasus is composed of two regions: The North Caucasus [Ciscaucasia or Caucasus traditionally] (including some southern autonomous republics of Russia), and the South Caucasus [Transcaucasia]. Also, the South Caucasus is consisted of two subregions: the Central Transcaucasia (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia), and the South Transcaucasia (some northern provinces of Iran and Turkey). In accordance, the old and recent studies that does not include many taxa in Caucasian parts of Turkey and Iran traditionally was revised and presented for the first time as a complete list of the Caucasus Cerambycidae fauna. According to the list determined by this study, the Caucasus Cerambycidae fauna is included a total of 704 species-group taxa (528 species + 176 subspecies) belonging to 128 genera of 55 tribes and 12 subfamilies.
