  • Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and Phylogenetic Relationships Within Cerambycidae
    The complete mitochondrial genomes of five longicorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and phylogenetic relationships within Cerambycidae Jun Wang1, Xin-Yi Dai1, Xiao-Dong Xu1, Zi-Yi Zhang1, Dan-Na Yu1,2, Kenneth B. Storey3 and Jia-Yong Zhang1,2 1 College of Chemistry and Life Science, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, Zhejiang, China 2 Key lab of wildlife biotechnology, Conservation and Utilization of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Normal University, Jinhua, Zhejiang, China 3 Department of Biology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada ABSTRACT Cerambycidae is one of the most diversified groups within Coleoptera and includes nearly 35,000 known species. The relationships at the subfamily level within Cer- ambycidae have not been convincingly demonstrated and the gene rearrangement of mitochondrial genomes in Cerambycidae remains unclear due to the low numbers of se- quenced mitogenomes. In the present study, we determined five complete mitogenomes of Cerambycidae and investigated the phylogenetic relationship among the subfamilies of Cerambycidae based on mitogenomes. The mitogenomic arrangement of all five species was identical to the ancestral Cerambycidae type without gene rearrangement. Remarkably, however, two large intergenic spacers were detected in the mitogenome of Pterolophia sp. ZJY-2019. The origins of these intergenic spacers could be explained by the slipped-strand mispairing and duplication/random loss models. A conserved motif was found between trnS2 and nad1 gene, which was proposed to be a binding site of a transcription termination peptide. Also, tandem repeat units were identified in the A C T-rich region of all five mitogenomes. The monophyly of Lamiinae and Prioninae was Submitted 14 May 2019 strongly supported by both MrBayes and RAxML analyses based on nucleotide datasets, Accepted 6 August 2019 whereas the Cerambycinae and Lepturinae were recovered as non-monophyletic.

We include some species preserved in the collection of the Department of Zoology of Kotli University, Pierpaolo Rapuzzi (private collection) and Dmitry Kuleshov (private collection). We list 56 species of Cerambycidae from Pakistan and Azad Kashmir; 15 of them are listed for the first time for Pakistan and for others species we give new localities. One new record for Turkey is given. This paper is only a preliminary study on the composition of the Pakistani fauna of Cerambycidae. It is evident how rich should be this country and many new records and new species are expected. For each species we provide the reference of the original description and its type locality, the general distribution of the species is given according the most recent literature.

  • (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Northern Thailand
    Kasetsart J. (Nat. Sci.) 45 : 841 - 855 (2011) Checklist of New Records of Subfamily Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Northern Thailand Suksawat Ponpinij*, Praparat Hormchan and Valuli Rojanavongse ABSTRACT Collections were made of longhorn beetles, subfamily Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), during 2004–2008 from specimens caught on flowers, trees and light traps from northern Thailand for taxonomic studies. Specimens were compared with samples from the Department of Agriculture, Royal Forest Department, Kasetsart University, the private collection of Bro. Amnauy Pinratana and by expert identification. The results revealed 47 newly recorded species in northern Thailand—namely, Agelasta bifasciana, Anamera desemaculata, A. obesa, A. strandi, Anameromorpha metallica, Annamanum chebanum, Anoplophora birmanica, A. medenbachii, A. stanleyana, Astathes violaceipennis, Batocera thomsonii, Blepephaeus ocellatus, Cleptometopus similis, Choeromorpha subfasciata, Cylindrepomus viridipennis, Driopea luteolineata, Epicedia maculatrix, Eutaenia albomaculata, Glenea mathemalica, G. quadrinotata, G. subviridescens, G. vaga, Gnoma gilmouri, Hirtaeschopalaea fasciculata, Hoplothrix rivulosus, Mispila kamvengal, Monochamus guerryi, Nipholophia chujoi, Nupserha spinifera, Olenecamptus fouqueti, Parachydaeopsis laosica, Pharsalia duplicata, P. pulchroides, Phrissomorimus brunneus, Pterolophia bituberculatithorax, P. humerosa, P. mimoconsularis, P. paralaosensis, P. partealbicollis, Rhodopina griseipes, Serixia apicefuscipennis, Sthenias franciscana,

ZooKeys 1049: 79–161. https://doi.org/10.3897/zookeys.1049.65558 Abstract An intensive census, extended over a period of approximately three and a half years, October 2017– May 2021, was conducted in the remaining green areas of the Macau SAR in order to provide an updated status of the biodiversity of longhorn beetles in this region. This insect group includes more than 36,000 species worldwide, subdivided into four families of mainly xylophagous or saproxylic insects, the Vesperidae, Oxypeltidae, Disteniidae, and Cerambycidae. They are of key importance in agricultural and forestry science, and are often used as an indicator of forest habitat health.
