A checklist of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) within the present geographical frontier of Indian subcontinent up to 2016 is provided. As per the current checklist prepared, there are 1536 species, classified under 440 genera, 72 tribes, and seven subfamilies of Cerambycidae (Parandrinae is not present in India). The report is accounted for 4.2 per cent of species, 7.94 per cent of genera and 28.24 per cent of tribes from India as compared to global record. For each species, accepted nomenclature followed by all relevant works reporting systematics, distribution and ecology of Indian longhorn beetles is provided along with synonyms, type locality and distribution within and outside India.

The checklist of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from India

An analysis of the species diversity and distribution of agriculturally important longhorn beetles (cerambycidae: coleoptera) from india

Family-group names proposed for beetles belonging to the family Cerambycidae are catalogued and their availability is determined using the rules of the current International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. A synoptic classification of the family summarizes the validity of the names. Type genera of all family-group names are listed and the type species and stems of genera of available family-group names are included. A new family-group name, Elytracanthinini Bousquet (type genus: Elytracanthina Monn, 2005, a replacement name for Elytracantha Lane, 1955) is proposed for Elytracanthinae Lane, 1955. Ichthyosoma armatum Montrouzier, 1855 is designated as type species of Icthyosoma Boisduval, 1835. Reversal of precedence is used to preserve the validity of the following family-group names: Anaglyptides Lacordaire, 1868 (over Anaglyptisidae Gistel, 1848 [Buprestidae]); Dryobiini Arnett, 1962 (over Dryobiadae Gistel, 1856 [Ptinidae]); Hemilophitae Thomson, 1868 (over Amphionychitae Thomson, 1860) and Heteropsides Lacordaire, 1869 (over Dichophyiaeidae Gistel, 1848). The following family-group names, although junior synonyms, are preserved as valid until an application is submitted to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature; in these cases a reversal of precedence could not be applied: Eurypodini Gahan, 1906 (over Zaracinae Pascoe, 1869); Macronides Lacordaire, 1868 (over Enchapteritae Thomson, 1861); Pyresthides Lacordaire, 1868 (over Pseudolepturitae Thomson, 1861 and Erythrinae Pascoe, 1866) and Stenoderinae Pascoe, 1867 (over Syllitae Thomson, 1864). A total of 238 valid cerambycid family-group names (413 available names) are recognized in the following 13 subfamilies: Vesperinae (1 valid family-group name), Oxypeltinae (1), Disteniinae (4), Anoplodermatinae (3), Philinae (1), Parandrinae (2), Prioninae (24), Spondylidinae (5), Necydalinae (1), Lepturinae (8), Lamiinae (80), Dorcasominae (1), and Cerambycinae (107).

E apresentado um levantamento das especies de Cassidinae que ocorrem no Parque Nacional do Itatiaia, Rio de Janeiro. O Parque Nacional do Itatiaia (PNI) e situado no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil e e uma das mais importantes Unidades de Conservacao da Mata Atlântica. Pouco se sabe sobre as especies de Coleoptera desse parque. Dois inventarios de Cassidinae foram realizados previamente no Estado do Rio de Janeiro, totalizando 80 especies para o PNI. O objetivo do trabalho e realizar uma atualizacao do inventario das especies e fornecer uma chave de identificacao para as tribos de Cassidinae que ocorrem no parque. Foram examinados exemplares da colecao do Museu Nacional, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro e da Fundacao Instituto Oswaldo Cruz. Em adicao, foram realizadas coletas no periodo de setembro de 2007 a janeiro de 2010. Este estudo resultou em 88 especies distribuidas em 29 generos e sete tribos. Dezenove apresentam novos registros de distribuicao sendo que destes, oito sao para o Estado do Rio de Janeiro, Parque Nacional do Itatiaia.
