Résumé. Le catalogue content des données sur 25 espèces paléarctiques de coléoptères Cerambycidae des sous-familles Prioninae (les tribues Prionini et Aegosomatini) et Lepturinae (les tribues Oxymirini, Xylosteini, Rhamnusiini et Rhagiini) conservées dans les collections du Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle «Grigore Antipa». Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, catalogue, collections, „Grigore Antipa” Museum. In the entomological collections of „Grigore Antipa” National Museum of Natural History from Bucharest there are preserved 25 Palaearctic species of Cerambycidae coleopterans of the subfamilies Prioninae (tribes Prionini and Aegosomatini) and Lepturinae (tribes Oxymirini, Xylosteini, Rhamnusiini and Rhagiini). The collection includes: – Materials from the old coleopteran collection from the Palaearctic region (which gathers specimens aquired between 1883 – 1950 from Canisius, Kenderessy, Fleck, Deubel, Montandon, Várady collections) (8%) – Material from Dr. Nicolae Sãvulescu’s collection, aquired between 1961– 1982 (29%) – Materials, from the same collection, included in the „Grigore Antipa” Museum patrimony in 1992, after Dr. Nicolae Sãvulescu’s death (cca 12%) – The specimens received by material exchanges with the specialists and collectors from abroad (1%) – Materials collected by the specialists of the „Grigore Antipa” Museum and their collaboratories during the field trips, between 1945–2004 (50%). A large part of the information given by the specimens from collections were materialized by scientifical papers. The first data on the materials from the personal collections, which are now included in the Museum patrimony, were published in Montandon’s (1884, 1906) and Fleck’s papers (1905). English translation by Mihaela Barcan Achim. 104 RODICA SERAFIM Panin and Sãvulescu (1961) used the little material collected till 1960 to publish the Cerambycidae volume in the “Romanian Fauna” series. The collections of Cerambycidae obviously increased after this date. The first step of the collection increasing was the aquiring of a part of Dr. Nicolae Sãvulescu’s collection, a part where most of the material was described in the fascicle of fauna. Gradually, in 1978, 1979 and 1982, other three parts were aquired, whose most of the data were not published since now. The collections developed a lot after 1962 due to the material collected all around Romania during different field trips made by the scientists of the Department of Entomology and their collaboratories. Among the researched areas we can mention the Danube Delta, Dobrogea, Vrancea County, the Romanian Plain, Satu Mare County, Maramureº County, Banat, Piatra Craiului Mountains, Fãgãraº Mountains, etc. A part of the data given by the material of the collections were published by Negru & Roºca (1967), Serafim (1985, 1993, 1997 a, b, 1998, 1999, 2004), Serafim & Maican (2003, 2004). After Dr. Nicolae Sãvulescu’s death, in 1992, his collection (unsold) was given to the Museum. For the time being, the material is studied (a part of its data is presented in this catalogue). The catalog presents 25 Palaearctic species of Cerambycidae, of the subfamily Prioninae (tribes Prionini and Aegosomatini) and of the subfamily Lepturinae (tribes Oxymirini, Xylosteini, Rhamnusiini and Rhagiini), represented by 1,941 specimens. Most of the material originates in Romania. Also, in the collection there is a material from France (Megopis scabricorne, Rhagium bifasciatum, Rh. sycophanta, Rh. inquisitor, Pidonia lurida), Italy (Rhamnusium bicolor), Czechia and Poland (Akimerus schaefferi, Brachyta interrogationis), Russia (Carilia virginea), Hungary (Dinoptera collaris). The species belonging to the Romanian fauna, from the tribes mentioned in the paper, are present in the Museum collections. An exception is the species Acmaeops septentrionis, whose presence in the Romanian fauna has to be confirmed. Microarthron komarowi and Rhagium fasciculatus are represented only by a foreign material. The nomenclature and the systematical displaying are according to Danilevsky’s paper (2004) – „Systematic list of longicorn beetles (Cerambycoidea) of Europe”.
