The last The first information about longhorn beetles from data about longicorns from the 19th century was the present territory of Latvia was published in the published by Seidlitz in his monographs about second half of the 18th century by Fischer (1778, the beetles of Baltia (present teritory of Estonia 1784, 1791): 14 species of longhorn beetles are and Latvia, except the historical region of Latgale mentioned in these works. (eastern part of Latvia)). In the first volume Seidlitz (1872 – 1875) has mentioned 90 species Several authors in their works have published and in the second volume 96 species have been faunistic data about the longhorn beetles during mentioned (Seidlitz 1887 – 1891). the 19th century. First data was published by Groschke (1805) who mentioned 14 longhorn The first records of the longhorn beetles from the beetles, considered as pests. Later, Precht (1818) 20th century were published by Heyden (1903), but published a faunistic review about beetles of the most important publications of the first part of Rīga district, where 67 species of longicorns previous century were published by Mikutowicz are mentioned (amount of species is different (1905) and Lackschewitz (Lackschewitz 1927, nowadays because of taxonomic changes). 1942, Lackschewitz & Mikutowicz 1939) – data Fleischer (1829) published a list of only those about 24 species has been recorded. Several species which he considered as new for local reviews about forestry pests were made from fauna – 14 species. Gimmerthal (1829) published 1926 until 1939, but no more than six longhorn a catalogue of beetles of Livonia, where he beetles have been mentioned in the same review. has mentioned 63 species of longhorn beetles. More important review about forestry pests 165 Dunskis A., Barševskis A. was carried out by Brammanis (1940), who has The catalogue of Latvian longhorn beetles is mentioned 22 species of longicorns, which has based on the analysis of data published for been considered as pests. The same author has almost two and a half centuries (1778 – 2018) been working on the distribution and ecology of that pertains to the territory that is nowadays Hylotrupes bajulus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Brammanis Latvia. References for every species are given in 1927, 1928, 1940). sequential time order and the available literature is registered with author and publishing year. After the World War II a new period in research Synonyms for all genera and species are also of longhorn beetles in Latvia started. During provided. Systematics are arranged according to Soviet Union time longicorns were researched by the Catalogue of Palearctic Coleoptera, Volume M. Stiprais, G. Ozols, Z. Spuris, Dz. Rūtenberga 6 (Löbl & Smetana 2010), but a few systematic and V. Šmits. G. Ozols was working on pests of changes have followed (Wallin et al. 2017). coniferous trees (Ozols 1968, 1970, 1982, 1985, Ozols & Bičevskis 1979). Dz. Rūtenberga worked with beetles on flowers and published data about RESULTS 22 longhorn beetle species (Рутенберга 1980). In 1984 a catalogue of Latvian longhorn beetles was There have been recorded 126 species, but 20 published by Z. Spuris, who has mentioned 124 species are considered as doubtful because of species, from which 102 – local, 2 – introduced misidentifications and imprecise localities like and 20 species – doubtful (Spuris 1984). “Livland” (marked with square brackets in the list). After reestablishing the independence, several researches and reviews about the beetles and Family CERAMBYCIDAE Latreille, 1802 longicorns followed. The main researches were Subfamily PRIONINAE Latreille, 1802 carried out by A. Barševskis, D. Telnov and H. Tribe Ergatini Fairmaire, 1864 Jansson and other entomologists, but the data about Latvian longhorn beetles is also mentioned Genus Ergates Audinet-Serville, 1832 in a few catalogues of other countries (Silfverberg (= Caratambyx Gistel, 1856) 1992, 2004, 2006, 2010, Lundberg 1995). Several (= Cerambyx Gistel, 1848) new species were recorded and doubtful species 1. Ergates faber faber (Linnaeus, 1760) have been confirmed. Telnov (2004) published (= Cerambyx portipor Schrank, 1781) the check-list of Latvian beetles, where 115 (= Ergates alkani Demelt, 1968) longhorn beetle species are listed and 18 species (= Ergates grandiceps Tournier, 1872) are considered as doubtful (133 species in total), (= Prionus bulzanensis Laicharting, 1784) but in the latest work of Silfverberg (2010) 122 (= Prionus crenatus Fabricius, 1801) species have been mentioned.
