The apparent rarity of sexual propagation~ which might possibly lead to the formation of cocoons so small as to be readily carried about by the wind, may have something to do with this encystment. The cysts are small enough to travel very easily, and the wide distribu- tion of the species may have been thus brought about. III.~Notes on Lon.qleorn Coleoptera of the Group Cerambycinab with Descriptions of new Genera and Species. By CItARLES J. GAI-IXN, M.A.,'Assistant in the Zoological Department, British Museum. [Concluded from vol. vii. p. 34.~ I~r my two papers on this group of Longieornia which have already appeared I have dealt with African~ Indo-Malayan, and Australian species. The present contribution is confined to South-American species of the group. t[amraaticherus macrus~ Bates. Mr. Bates's clear description of this species leaves no room for doubt that it is identical with tile Itammaticl~erus bellator of Dejean's collection. It isvery doubtful, however, whether Serville's description could possibly have been drawn up fi'om the same species ; if it is to be accepted as accurate we must regard the tt. bellator of Serville as a species allied to but quite distinct from H. macrus, Bates (=//. bellator, Dej.). It may be remarked that in the latter species the anterior cotyloid cavities are distinctly open behind, while in all the other species known to me they are completely or almost completely closed in behind.

Abstract: A survey of the Cerambycinae species recorded in the Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil, is presented. The data were based on literature, field work and in the collection of the Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro. Two hundred ninety three species of Cerambycinae are registered, and this represents about 28% of the species that occur in the Atlantic Rainforest. Nineteen new distribution records are registered. Ninety nine species are illustrated. A comparative table showing the respective number of genera and species of Cerambycinae that occur in the Neotropical Region, Atlantic Rainforest and Parque Nacional do Itatiaia is given. Keywords: Cerambycidae, Coleoptera, inventory, Atlantic Rainforest.

Topics considered for publication include systematics, taxonomy, nomenclature, 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 reviews 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 and CAB Abstracts. Insecta Mundi is published irregularly throughout the year, with completed manuscripts assigned an individual number. Manuscripts must be peer reviewed prior to submission, after which they are reviewed by the editorial board to ensure quality.

  • Checklist of the Cerambycidae, Or Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere 2009 Version (Updated Through 31 December 2008) Miguel A
    Checklist of the Cerambycidae, or longhorned beetles (Coleoptera) of the Western Hemisphere 2009 Version (updated through 31 December 2008) Miguel A. Monné, and Larry G. Bezark, Compilers Introduction The Cerambycidae, commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles, goat beetles (bock-käfern), or sawyer beetles, comprise one of the largest and most varied families of Coleoptera, with body length alone varying from ± 2.5 mm (Cyrtinus sp.) to slightly over 17 cm (Titanus giganteus). Distributed world-wide from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation wherever their host plants are found, cerambycids have long been a favorite with collectors. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent for the past century, but the description of new taxa has accelerated in recent decades thanks to the efforts of Chemsak, Linsley, Giesbert, Martins, Monné, Galileo, Napp, and other workers. This checklist builds upon the efforts of Blackwelder (1946), Chemsak & Linsley (1982), Chemsak, Linsley & Noguera (1992), and Monné & Giesbert (1994), and presently includes nearly 9,000 described species and subspecies, covering the terrestrial hemisphere from Canada and Alaska to Argentina and Chile, and including the Caribbean arc. Adult Cerambycidae, upon which most taxonomic studies in the family have been based, vary widely in their habits. Some species are nocturnal, many are attracted to artificial light, and they also may be found at night on the trunks and branches of their host plants, or on foliage. Diurnal species also may be found on or near their host plants, but many species are attracted to blossoms of shrubs and trees, where they may serve as pollinators.

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e7968. doi: 10.3897/ BDJ.4.e7968 Abstract Background The Cerambycidae are one of the largest beetle families. Cerambycid beetles are found on all continents, but the tropics are extremely rich in this species. The genus Criodion (Audinet-Serville, 1833) includes 13 species in the Neotropical Region, two of which occur in Central America. Panama has a high biodiversity, yet a small number of sites have been extensively studied. In this contribution, new distributional data are given for C. cinereum (Olivier, 1795) and C. tuberculatum Gahan, 1892. © Lanuza-Garay A et al.
