The Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Đerdap National Park (Serbia) Acta entomologica serbica, 2013, 18(1/2): 95-127 UDC 595.768.1(497.11-751.2) THE LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) OF THE ĐERDAP NATIONAL PARK (SERBIA) NASTAS ILIĆ1, SREĆKO ĆURČIĆ2* and DEJAN STOJANOVIĆ3, 4 1 University of Belgrade, Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, Blagoja Parovića 156, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia 2 University of Belgrade, Faculty of Biology, Institute of Zoology, Studentski Trg 16, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia *E-mail: [email protected] 3 University of Novi Sad, Institute of Lowland Forestry and Environment, Antona Čehova 13, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia 4 Fruška Gora National Park, Zmajev Trg 1, 21208 Sremska Kamenica, Serbia Abstract Over the period of 1991-2012 a total of 1,415 adult specimens of longhorn beetles were collected during 54 field trips to the territory of the Đerdap National Park (eastern Serbia). Most specimens were caught at Tekija, in the vicinity of the village of Miroč (Mt. Miroč), Donji Milanovac, and Kazan - Ploče, while a somewhat lower number was registered at sites in Kladovo, Golubac, Liškovac, Dobra, and Mt. Miroč (with no precise sublocality). The specimens were mostly collected by hand and entomological net, but a significant number of specimens were collected by wine and pitfall traps, a mercury-containing light bulb, and rearing. Several different sites were investigated in the studied area, including meadows, forest clearings, dense deciduous forest, numerous woodpiles, and cut trunks of deciduous trees. Altogether 104 species and 43 subspecies from 55 genera, 31 tribes, and six subfamilies of longhorn beetles were found to inhabit the investigated locality. The highest number of species and subspecies is registered within the subfamilies Cerambycinae (40 species and 16 subspecies), Lepturinae (32 species and 15 subspecies), and Lamiinae (27 species and 11 subspecies). One longhorn beetle species is cited as new for eastern Serbia. Data from eastern Serbia are recorded for seven species for the second time. Twenty-nine cerambycid species are recognized as rare in Serbia. A single subspecies is Balkan endemic. Thirty-six species are recorded for the first time for the Đerdap National Park. Seven species and two subspecies are protected both nationally and internationally. The cerambycids of eastern Serbia have been insufficiently studied until now and additional investigations are necessary in the area studied. KEY WORDS: longhorn beetles, Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, diversity, Đerdap National Park, eastern Serbia 96 N. ILIĆ et al. Introduction The collecting of longhorn beetles has a long tradition in Serbia, beginning in the mid-XIX century. At the end of the XIX century Bobić and Jakšić collected cerambycid beetles, but their collections have since been destroyed. BOBIĆ (1891) presented the first data on longhorn beetles from Serbia (18 species) caught in Kruševac and its surroundings. KOŠANIN (1904) reported 72 Cerambycidae species from different locations in Serbia. ADAMOVIĆ (1965) cited 200 cerambycid species from Serbia after the analysis of the material from the Natural History Museum in Belgrade and his own collection of around 6,000 specimens. MIKŠIĆ & GEORGIJEVIĆ (1971, 1973) and MIKŠIĆ & KORPIČ (1985) presented a review of longhorn beetles from the former Yugoslavia, where they reported 141 species from Serbia. ĆURČIĆ et al. (2003) investigated the collection of the Institute of Zoology, University of Belgrade - Faculty of Biology, where they found 49 cerambycid species from Serbia. MILOŠEVIĆ (2003) in her M.Sc. thesis reported a few rare longhorn beetle species which she found by rearing from dry oak branches collected in the Đerdap National Park. ILIĆ (2005) has analyzed more than 12,000 longhorn beetle specimens from collections of numerous museums and his own private collection and has reported 242 species from Serbia. PIL & STANKOVIĆ (2006) have mentioned 30 longhorn beetle species from the Zasavica Special Nature Reserve (northwestern Serbia). PLEĆAŠ & PAVIĆEVIĆ (2007) presented data for 98 species of Cerambycidae inhabiting Mt. Avala near Belgrade. PIL & STOJANOVIĆ (2008) gathered previously published data and reported new data on Cerambycidae from Mt. Fruška Gora (northern Serbia), where they reported 126 species. The same authors later discovered an additional longhorn beetle species new for Serbian fauna (PIL & STOJANOVIĆ, 2009). GNJATOVIĆ & ŽIKIĆ (2010) gave data for 49 longhorn beetle species inhabiting southeastern Serbia, among which three were new for the investigated area. The same authors afterwards published additional data on longhorn beetles from Serbia and Montenegro, with the records of 24 species (GNJATOVIĆ & ŽIKIĆ, 2011). RAPUZZI & SAMA (2012) recently described a new cerambycid species for science, which is partially distributed in Serbia. ČKRKIĆ (2012) presented the faunistic review of Cerambycidae from western Serbia, containing data for 111 species. STANČIĆ (2013) reported 59 longhorn beetle species from Ram-Golubac Sands. Finally, ILIĆ & ĆURČIĆ (2013) reported a total of 94 longhorn beetle species from Mt. Rtanj (Eastern Serbia), among which eight were new for eastern Serbia. Previous knowledge of Cerambycidae of the Đerdap Gorge was relatively scarce. KOŠANIN (1904) reported two species, MIKŠIĆ (1963) five, ADAMOVIĆ (1965) seven (among them one is collected out of the National Park, but within the Đerdap Gorge area), MIKŠIĆ & KORPIČ (1985) two, MILOŠEVIĆ (2003) three, while ILIĆ (2005) has presented data on 62 species of longhorn beetles, which represents the current number of species registered there so far. Other data on Cerambycidae from the investigated site are lacking. Material and Methods With its picturesque hilly-mountainous configuration and no significant industrial and chemical pollution (Fig. 1), the area of the Đerdap National Park is both preserved and protected. The longhorn beetle sampling in the Đerdap National Park was performed from 1991 to 2012 by the first and third authors of this paper (54 visits). Material about 1,415 longhorn beetle specimens was collected from May to September at the following sites in the Đerdap National Park: Golubac (EQ 54), Dobra (EQ 74), Kazan - Ploče (FQ 04), Donji Milanovac (EQ 82), Liškovac (EQ 82), the vicinity of the village of Miroč, Mt. Miroč (FQ 03), Mt. Miroč (with no precise sublocality) (FQ 03), Tekija (FQ 14), and Kladovo (FQ 24) (Fig. 2). A few specimens were caught in the Đerdap Gorge, but the precise locality wasn’t mentioned. The altitude of The longhorn beetles of the Đerdap NP (Serbia) 97 the investigated localities ranges from 49 to 803 m a.s.l. Deciduous forests with beech, Turkey oak, hornbeam, linden, hawthorn, hazel and nut are dominant there. Certain conifers are sporadically present (pine and fir), while willow and poplar are dominant near the banks of the Danube River. The terrain at ascents is calcareous karst. Figure 1. A view of the Đerdap National Park Figure 2. UTM map of the Đerdap National Park with (photo Milan Đurić, 2012). shaded squares covering localities where material was collected. The climate in the investigated area is continental, with a strong influence of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The weather conditions during our visits were optimal for field trip activities, mostly sunny and warm, but with periods of squalls and storms. Otherwise the area is characterized by sudden weather changes. Most specimens were collected manually from flowers, leaves and tree barks, in woodpiles, or by entomological net. Additionally, a number of specimens was caught in wine traps hanging mostly on branches of deciduous trees (seldom on branches of conifers), 6-8 m above ground. Some specimens were found using 9% alcoholic vinegar in buried pitfall traps. A lesser number of specimens was collected by a mercury-containing light bulb at night and by rearing in the laboratory. The entire collected entomological material is deposited in the private collections of the first and third authors of the study. Determination of the collected entomological material was done using the following publications: HARDE (1966), MIKŠIĆ & GEORGIJEVIĆ (1971, 1973), VILLIERS (1978), MIKŠIĆ & KORPIČ (1985), and BENSE (1995). Classification was performed as in DANILEVSKY (2013). Abbreviations used in Tab.

It is included in Annex II of the Habitats Directive (as M. funereus) and protected under the Bulgarian Biodiversity Act. Although this saproxylic beetle is widespread in old-growth forests or well-structured woodlands in Central and Southeast Europe, its populations are currently threatened by forest practices, such as the removal of wood (branches and logs) (Hardersen et al. 2017). The species is with limited dispersal ability (due to lack of wings) and is very likely to possess very isolated and localized populations. In addition, M. asper funereus is of considerable interest from a taxonomic point of view with unclear taxonomic status for as much as Morimus asper is a morphologically highly variable species. At present, at least three species/subspecies of the genus Morimus are known from the territory of Bulgaria - Morimus asper, M.

ABSTRACT The observations conducted between May and October 2014 in the protected area "The Forests in the Southern part of Cândeşti Piedmont" clearly show three species of protected saproxylic beetles: Lucanus cervus, Cerambyx cerdo and Morimus asper funereus. The Quercus forests, which are dominant in that area, ensure optimal living conditions for the species L. cervus and M. asper funereus, which are common species in this site. Several aspects are presented that concern the period of activity of the individuals, sex ratio, the presence of predators and the distribution map of the species. The species C. cerdo was only found on Quercus sp, and the small number of the individuals counted in the area show that the species does not benefit from favourable development conditions. A number of pressures identified make the rational management of this protected area to be extremely important. INTRODUCTION Saproxylic insects have a major role in the degradation of dead wood. Speight (1989) (in Buse et al., 2007) defines saproxylic insects as “invertebrates dependent, in their life cycle, on dead wood or very old trees”.

STOJANOVIĆ2 1Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia, Radnička 20a, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia 2Fruška Gora National Park, Zmajev trg 1, 21208 Sremska Kamenica, Serbia ABSTRACT: Determinated of new longhorn beetle material (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) collected on Mt. Fruška Gora during the period of 2002 - 2005 has shown the presence of 29 species and three sub- species. Of that number, one species is new to the Serbian fauna, seven species or subspecies are regis- tered for the first time for Mt. Fruška Gora, three species are Balkan endemics, and 10 species or sub- species are rare in Serbia. The presence of Icosium tomentosum atticum Ganglbauer, 1881 in Serbia is confirmed by this entomological investigation. KEYWORDS: Cerambycidae, endemic and rare species, Balkan Mt. Fruška Gora INTRODUCTION Mount Fruška Gora is in many respects (geomorphological, faunistic, floristic, etc.) a special mountain massif. It is cut off from the rest of the Dinarid system and is surrounded by lowland. Since the 1950’s a few researchers investigated the mountain’s entomofauna (ADAMOVIĆ, 1950, 1965; MIKŠIĆ, 1963; ILIĆ, 2005; PIL and STOJANOVIĆ, 2005a, b). Until now 126 cerambycid species were registered on this massif. That number includes some species which were there noted for the first time for Serbia, as well as rare and endemic species. MATERIAL AND METHODS Material was collected on field trips on Mt. Fruška Gora during the period of 2002 - 2005.

  • Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) Auf Dem Asiatischen Festland: Neue Synonymien Und Neue Taxa
    ©Arbeitsgemeinschaft Österreichischer Entomologen, Wien, download unter www.zobodat.at Zeitschrift der Arbeitsgemeinschaft Österreichischer Entomologen 67: 45–72 Wien, Dezember 2015 ISSN 0375-5223 Die Gattung Exocentrus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae) auf dem asiatischen Festland: neue Synonymien und neue Taxa Carolus HOLZSCHUH Abstract The genus Exocentrus (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Lamiinae) on the Asian mainland: new synonymies and new taxa. Exocentrus barbieri PIC, 1950 is excluded from Exocentrus DEJEAN, 1835 and considered as a new synonym of Trichocontoderes setosus (FISHER, 1936). Therefore the former subgenus Barbierexocentrus BREUNING, 1958 of Exocentrus becomes a new synonym of Trichocontoderes BREUNING, 1957. Parasphigmothorax ochreosignatus BREUNING, 1974 is proposed as a synonym of Exocentrus alni FISHER, 1932, therefore Para­ sphigmothorax BREUNING, 1974 becomes a new synonym of Exocentrus. The following further synonymies are proposed: Exocentrus indicola FISHER, 1932 = E. nigripennis BREUNING, 1957 syn.n., E. granulicollis FISHER, 1932 = E. rufithoraxG RESSITT, 1935 syn.n., E. parrotiae FISHER, 1932 = E. klapperichi BREUNING, 1957 syn.n., E. subglaber FISHER, 1925 = E. bicoloripennis BREUNING, 1957 syn.n. = E. rufolateralis BREUNING, 1963 syn.n., E. fumosus GAHAN, 1894 = E. seticollis FISHER, 1932 syn.n., E. pilosicornis FISHER, 1932 = E. subfasciatipennis BREUNING, 1958 syn.n. = E. ceylanicus BREUNING, 1974 syn.n., E. tessellatus PERROUD, 1855 = E. beesoni FISHER, 1933 syn.n., E. lusitanus (LINNÉ, 1767) = E. ochreoscutellatus BREUNING, 1974 syn.n., E. sublineatus BREUNING, 1957 = E. laosicus BREUNING, 1963 syn.n. = E. rufuloides BREUNING, 1965 syn.n. Seventeen new taxa are described and illustrated: Exocentrus creber sp.n., E. nives sp.n., E. latus sp.n., E. latiusculus sp.n., E. cavipennis sp.n., E.
