The Shantar Islands are located in the western part of the , near the eastern coast of Eurasia. They are administratively included in the Tuguro-Chumikansky district of Khabarovsk Krai of Russia. The archipelago consists of 15 large and small islands, the largest of which is the Bоlshoy Shantar.The total area of the islands is 550 thousand hectares. The entire archipelago has the status of the National Park. The islands are dominated by mountainous relief with river valleys. Heights are up to 721 m. The climate is temperate monsoon with excessive summer moisture. Strong northwest winds prevail, they delay the phenological cycles of biota by 1-1,5 months in comparison with the nearest mainland areas. The boreal component of the middle taiga subzone dominates in the flora of the archipelago. Nemoral flora is represented by single species in phytocenoses of deep valleys of the large islands (Nechaev, 1955). There are two altitudinal vegetation belts in the Shantar Islands – mountain taiga belt and subalpine altitudinal belt (mountain tundra occupies 2% of the territory). Forests prevail in the vegetation (79% of the territory). In the recent past, the large islands were dominated by the forests formed by Ajan spruce (Picea ajanensis). These are spruce-larch (Larix gmelinii) and spruce-birch (Betula lanata, B. ermanni) formations. Currently, due to pyrogenic processes, the significant areas are occupied by secondary larch forests with the participation of dwarf-pine (Pinus pumila). The grass-grain meadows (9%) and large-grass alder forests (Duschekia fruticosa, D. kamtschatica) are widespread in the lower areas. The larch swampy zones (10%) are formed in the waterlogged lowlands (Schlotgauer, Kryukova, 2005). Until recently, only one species of Cerambycidae was known from the territory of the Shantar Islands – Cornumutila quadrivittata (Gebler, 1830), published under the synonymous name C. semenovi Plavilshchikov, 1936 ((Lazarev, 2019; Plavilshchikov, 1936).

Materials and methods We studied 148 specimens of longicorn beetles (Cerambycidae) collected on the Shantar Islands from 1999 to 2019, as well as literary sources with information about the distribution and biology of the identified species (Cherepanov, 1982, 1983; Danilevsky, 2014, 2019; Löbl, Smetana, 2010). According to the research results, a list of taxa is published. The nomenclature of taxa is given according to M.L. Danilevsky (Danilevsky, 2019). On the map (Fig. 1), the collection points of Cerambycidae are indicated by numbers

Results and discussion Currently, 21 species from 15 genera of four tribes and three Cerambycidae subfamilies are registered from the territory of the Shantar Islands, of which 20 species, 14 genera, three tribes, and two subfamilies are listed for the first time for the fauna of the archipelago. Most of the Cerambycidae taxa of the Shantar Islands` fauna are widespread throughout Eurasia – 11 species, seven species are specific for the Eastern Palearctic and only three ones - for East Asia. The entomofauna of boreal forests (85,7%) predominates in the study area, while the nemoral complex is represented by a small proportion of species (14,3%). Trophically, the larvae of Cerambycidae of the archipelago are mainly associated with coniferous trees – 13 species. Six species of them (Euracmaeops smaragdulus, E. angusticollis, pratensis, Cornumutila quadrivittata, sequensi, A. renardi) are solely associated with conifers, and seven species (Nivellia sanguinosa, Alosternata bacicolor, dichroa, S. variicornis, virens, dentatofasciata, Oedecnema gebleri) can also inhabit the leaf-bearing plants. Six species ( cyanea, thoracica, L. annularis, L. duodecimguttata, Cyrtoclytus capra, myops) specialize only in leaf-bearing plants. The larvae trophics of variabilis testaceimeimebris subspecies and Brachyta sachalinensis species has not been studied. Probably, B. variabilis testaceimembris subspecies is associated with herbaceous plants, as is the nominative subspecies.
