CATALOGUE OF THE CERAMBYCIDAE (COLEOPTERA) OF AUSTRALIA BY KEITH C. McKEOWN, F.R.Z.S., Assistant Entomologist. The Australian Museum. PUBLISHED BY ORDER OF THE TRUSTEES A. B. Walkom, D.%., Director. Sydney, May 2, I947 PREFACE. The accompanying Catalogue of the Cerambycidae is the first, dealing solely with Australian genera and species, to be published since that of Pascoe in 1867. Masters' Catalogue of the Described Coleoptera of Australia, 1885-1887, included the Cerambycidae, and was based on the work of Gemminger and Harold. A new catalogue has been badly needed owing to the large number of new species described in recent years, and the changes in the already complicated synonymy. The Junk catalogue, covering the Coleoptera of the world, is defective in many respects, as well as being too unwieldy, and too costly for the average Australian worker. Many of the references in the Junk catalogue are inaccurate, synonymy misleading, and the genera under which the species were originally described omitted, and type localities are not quoted. In this catalogue every care has been taken to ensure accuracy, and the fact that it has been used, in slip form, over a number.

  • The Longicorn Beetles of Hainan Island
    The Philippine Journal of Science Vol. 72 MAY-JUNE, 1940 Nos. 1-2 THE LONGICORN BEETLES OF HATNAN ISLAND 1 COLEOPTERA : CERAMBYCIDiE By J. Linsley Gressitt Of the Lingnan Natural History Survey and Museum Lingnan University, Canton, China EIGHT PLATES The present report is in the nature of a classification of the longicorn, or long-horned, beetles hitherto collected on Hainan Island, as far as available to the writer. A large part of the material on which the work has been based is included in the collections of the Lingnan Natural History Museum of Lingnan University, Canton, made on various expeditions, principally by F. K. To in 1932 and 1935, by Prof. W. E. Hoffmann, Mr. 0. K. Lau, and Dr. F. A. McClure in 1932, and by the Fifth Hainan Island Expedition of the University in 1929, as well as on col- lections made by myself on my trip (34) to the island during the summer of 1935. The remainder of the material studied includes, among others, part of the collection made by Mr. J. Whitehead in 1899, and the specimens collected by Commander G. Ros in the spring of 1936. A list of localities is given at the end, in addition to the map, in order to facilitate the identification of place names used. I am deeply grateful to Professor W. E. Hoffmann, director of the Lingnan Natural History Survey and Museum of Lingnan University, for enabling me to make this study. To Dr. K. G. Blair, of the British Museum of Natural History, I am greatly 1 Contribution from the Lingnan Natural History Survey and Museum of Lingnan University, Canton, China.

ON INDIAN SPECIES OF APOMEGYNA LATREILlE WITH A KEY TO INDIAN GENERA OF TRIBE APOMECYNINI S. BISWAS AND P. K. BAsAK* Zoological Survey of India, Oalcutta. INRODUCTION Beetles of the family Cerambycidae, commonly known as longicorn beetles, are very important economically as many of these insects are injurious to living trees as well as to timber. After the publication of Gahan's monographic work (1906) in the Fauna of British India series no comprehensive work on the taxonomy of Indian Cerambycidae has been published. Stebbing (1914), Beeson and Bhatia (1939) and Beeson (1941) have contributed on the biolology and life history of many important species by taxonomic informations are still scattered in various journals published from all over the world in different languages. This is especially true for the subfamily Lamiinae which includes majority of the longicorn beetles and was not included in Gahan's fauna volume. In the present paper, descriptions, geographical distribution, additional locality data and biological informations wherever available on all the species known from Indian region of the genus Apomecyna have been provided. A key to the genera of tribe Apomecynini known from Indian region and another key to the Indian species of the genus Apomecyna have been included. Tribe Apomecynini Lacordaire 1872 The tribe Apomecynini is one of the 30 tribes of subfamily Lamiinae known from India and can be characterised as follows: Small to moderate in size, long to very long in form.

    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.

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.

Abstract: Totally 16 Cerambycidae species are reported for Dhofar in Sultanate of Oman. Ten species are reported for the first time for Oman: Lygrus longicornis (Pic, 1895); Kabatekiella dalihodi Holzschuh, 2008; Yementallyrama nasheri Adlbauer, 2007; Idactus coquereli (Fairmaire, 1890); Apomecyna lameerei (Pic, 1895); Enaretta caudata Fåhraeus, 1873; Eunidia breuningae Villiers, 1951; Eunidia kristenseni Aurivillius, 1911; Eunidia nebulosa nebulosa Erichson, 1843 and Coptops aedificator Fabricius, 1792. The genus Jordanoleiopus Lepesme & Breuning, 1955 is new recorder for the fauna of Palaearctic Region. INTRODUCTION The cerambycid fauna of Sultanate Oman is very little known, since most of the species hitherto recorded from the Arabian Peninsula, have been collected in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The paper presents results of the Czech entomological expedition to Sultanate of Oman in September/October 2011. During this expedition were visited, with a special attention to interestings biotopes in Dhofar region, especially Jabal Samhan and Jabal al Qamar. The expedition included four Czech entomologists, Richard Ambrus, Walter Grosser, Pavel Kučera and Jiří Voříšek. The beetles were collected individually using generally known methods such as beating, sweeping, individual collecting on wood, flower and leaves.

Janssens que j'ai pu étudier des Longicornes de l'Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique, parmi lesquels se trouvent uu certain nombre de formes nouvelles, formes dont je donne ci-dessous les diagnoses. Je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude à l'Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique pour m'avoir autorisé à publier dans la même note quelques nouvelles formes d'origine diffé¬ rente qui m'ont été communiquées ces derniers temps. Genre Pseudohepomidion gen. nov. Allongé. Antennes fines, d'un quart plus longues que le corps, non frangées en dessous ; le scape assez long et peu fort, muni d'une étroite cicatrice fermée, le troisième article sensiblement plus long que le quatrième, beaucoup plus long que le scape, le quatrième sensiblement plus long qu'un des articles suivants. Tubercules antennifères modérément élevés. Yeux grossièrement facettés, fortement échancrés, les lobes inférieurs obliques. Front convexe et transverse. Pronotum transverse, convexe, irrégulièrement ridé, pourvu (1e quatre profonds sillons trans¬ versaux, deux antérieurs et deux postérieurs, et d'une assez longue épine latérale pointue, dirigée obliquement en liaut. 2 S.
