НАУКА ЗА ГОРАТА, КН. 1, 2020 FOREST SCIENCE, No 1, 2020 NEw RECORDS OF LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) IN ENTOMOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS IN BULGARIA Georgi Georgiev Forest research institute, Bulgarian academy of sciences Abstract: during the period 2008-2014, unpublished longhorn beetles in the entomo- logical collections of the Forest research institute, institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research and national museum of natural history in sofia were studied. as a result, 86 taxa belonging to five subfamilies were identified: Prioninae (2 species), lepturinae (29 species and subspecies), spondylidinae (7 species and subspecies), cerambycinae (25 species and subspecies) and lamiinae (23 species and subspecies). in this study, new localities of rare taxa (Aegomorphus krueperi, Cortodera holosericea holosericea, Phymatodes lividus, Pilemia tigrina, Pogonocherus hispidus, Tetrops starkii starkii) were established in Bulgaria. these new records enlarge our knowledge of regional distribution of cerambycids in the country. Key words: cerambycidae, entomological collections, rare species, Bulgaria INTRODUCTION the longhorn beetles (coleoptera: cerambycidae) are relatively well studied in Bulgaria. the results of previous investigations are summarized in two monographs (angelov, 1995; migliaccio et al., 2007), two papers on host plants of xylophagous species (doychev et al., 2017, 2018) and several articles on cerambycid diversity in different mountains of the country (georgiev, 2011; georgiev et al., 2002, 2004, 2005a, 2005b, 2006, 2013, 2018; georgiev, stojanova, 2003; georgiev, hubenov, 2006; migliaccio et al., 2004; rapuzzi, georgiev, 2007, etc.). it must be noted, however, that there is insufficient knowledge about regional distribution of the species. the present work reports information about unpublished records of longhorn beetles in three entomological collections in Bulgaria. MATERIAL AND METHODS in the period 2008-2014, many cerambycid specimens were identified in the entomological collections of the Forest research institute, institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research and national museum of natural history in sofia. the cerambycids are deposited in entomological collections mentioned in the list below with the following abbreviations: [Fri] – Forest research 87 institute; [iBer] – institute of Biodiversity and ecosystem research; [nmnhs] – national museum of natural history. the longhorn beetles are listed in systematic order, following the system of danilevsky (2019). RESULTS AND DISCUSION a total of 86 cerambycid taxa were identified in this study. they belong to five subfamilies: Prioninae (2 species), lepturinae (29 species and subspecies), spondylidinae (7 species and subspecies), cerambycinae (25 species and subspecies) and lamiinae (23 species and subspecies).
