Biologica Nyssana, 1 (1-2), December 2010: 111-115. The cerambycids (longhorn beetles) are known as very attractive insects, as well as pests, especially in forestry. Our investigation and collecting the specimens on the territory of Serbia has started in the middle of the nineteenth century. Up today, 242 species were registered in the fauna of Serbia (Ilić, 2005). The first information about cerambycids in Serbia was published by Bobić (1871). Significant contribution in researching of the family Cerambycidae was given by Košanin (1904). Finally, there were several domestic authors occupied by longhorn beetles: Adamović (1950), Mikšić (1963), Ćurčić et al. (2003) and Ilić (2005). In this review forty-nine species reviewed from 34 genera which belong to five subfamilies: Prioninae, Lepturinae, Spondylidinae, Cerambycinae and Lamiinae. Examined material has been collected in the Southeastern Serbia. The most numerous were the subfamily Cerambycinae, comprising 18 species from 15 genera. Key words: Coleoptera, Checklist, Southeast Serbia Introduction Adamović (1950) complements Košanin’s ! coleopteran collection and reporting 25 new species. The Cerambycidae comprises about 25,000- Mikšić (1963) published 278 species for the 30,000 species distributed in all zoogeographical fauna of ex Yugoslavia. For the territory of Serbia regions worldwide. All known species are he has noticed 141 species, based on following data phytophagous; majority of their larvae are of S v i r č e v (1938), K u t h y (1896), xylophagous (86%); some members feed on Živojinović (1950) and A d a m o v i ć (1950). herbaceous plants (13%). They could cause serious In additional research M i k š i ć at al.

(2003), There are about 2.500 species in the reported 5 subspecies, along with 49 species, Palaearctic fauna of which 625 occur in Europe belonging to 49 genera as well as two new species (B í l ý and M e h l , 1989; I l i ć , 2005). in Serbia: Leiopus femoratus Faimaire and Pančić was the first investigator who started Pachytodes cerambyciformis (Schrank). collecting the specimens of Coleoptera in Serbia Up to year of 2005, it was described 242 since 1846, but the first information about species, 40 subspecies from 123 genera, 15 cerambycids in Serbia has been published by subgenera, 44 tribes and 6 subfamilies in Serbia Bobić (1891). Significant contribution in (I l i ć , 2005). Most recent data shows there are 259 researching of the family Cerambycidae was given species of longhorn beetles in Serbia (P i l & by K o š a n i n (1904). He has noted 72 species from Stojanović , 2009). various localities in Serbia.
