The second, updated edition of the Catalogue of Palaearctic cerambycids is discussed in detail. The unprecedented huge amount of gross mistakes, highly dubious and controversial data held in the first edition of the Catalogue was one of the main reasons for republication. Special attention is paid here to the sections of the first edition authored...
A review of the tribe Teledapini Pascoe, 1871, including the genera Teledapus Pascoe, 1871, Teledapalpus Miroshnikov, 2000 and Parateledapus Miroshnikov, 2000, is provided. The morphological differences between the very similar and taxonomically complex genera Teledapus and Teledapalpus, which include some transitional forms, are discussed. The par...
The following new synonymy is established: Massirachys mariae J. Thomson, 1878 = Massicus subregularis Schwarzer, 1931, syn. n. On the basis of this synonymy, the former species, hitherto known only from Borneo, is being recorded from Sumatra for the first time. The record of the large male of Massicus (with a body length of 70 mm), very similar to...
Iphiothe pascoei Miroshnikov et Heffern, sp. n. is described from Borneo. It differs clearly from all members of the genus by the sharply dichromatic coloration of the legs and antennomere 3, the immaculate femora and tibiae, the very motley, spotted, light setation of the elytra, the shorter antennae of the male. The stability and reliability of t...
Two new species of the genus Dymasius J. Thomson, 1864 are described. Dymasius medvedevisp. n. (southern India) is similar to D. minor Gahan, 1906, but differs in the very well expressed longitudinal stripes of the elytra, coarser sculpture in their apical part, the length ratio of antennomeres 3–6, the less strongly thickened antennomeres 3–5 in t...
Full generic statuses of Plavichydissus Pic, 1946, stat. rest., Laomargites Pic, 1923, stat. rest. and Lamellocerambyx Pic, 1923, stat. rest. are restored. Reviews of these genera, as well as keys to species of the former two are given. Annotated checklists of the Asian species of the genera Pachydissus Newman, 1838 and Margites Gahan, 1891, as wel...
A new species, Elydnus aurivilliusi Miroshnikov et Tichý, sp.n., is described from Western Malaysia. Previously unknown records of E. tatianae Miroshnikov, 2017 and E. vitalii Miroshnikov, 2017 from northern Vietnam are presented.
The Red Data Book of Sevastopol contains information on 384 species of plants and animals that protected in the administrative boundaries of Sevastopol region, including 176 species and subspecies of vascular plants, 11 species of algae and 19 fungi. In turn 178 animal species and subspecies, including 122 species of invertebrates and 56 species of...
Indapiodes bifasciatus gen.n., sp.n., a new member of the tribe Tillomorphini, is described from southern India.
A new species, Neocerambyx bakboensis sp.n., is described from northeastern Vietnam. New data on N. pellitus (Hitzinger in Breuning et Hitzinger, 1943) are given, including its female described for the first time. Various records of N. grandis Gahan, 1891 and N. katarinae Holzschuh, 2009 are presented and discussed from India, China, Laos or Vietna...
The genus Corennys Bates, 1884 is recorded from Russia for the first time based on the male of C. sericata Bates, 1884 collected in Kunashir Island, Russian Far East.
Taking into account the new data presented in this paper, the tribe Cerambycini in the fauna of Asia contains almost 60 genus-group taxa and about 335 species, being the largest compared to the faunas of the other parts of the world. Serious problems in the development of a reasonable supraspecific classification of the tribe are noted. Reviews of...
Based on the first records of Coptocercus sumatranus Hüdepohl, 1992, stat.n., from the western and earstern parts of Malaysia, as well as from Thailand, the genus Coptocercus Hope, 1841 is new to the faunas of Indochina and Borneo. A new taxonomic status and a new synonym are established: Coptocercus sumatranus Hüdepohl, 1992, stat.n. = Coptocercus...
A new species, Dymasius fedorenkoi sp. n., is described from Vietnam. A new combination is proposed: Dymasius ornatus (Gressitt et Rondon, 1970), comb. n. ex Derolus Gahan, 1891. New records are given of Dymasius lundbergi Hüdepohl, 1998 and D. mandibularis (Gahan, 1891) from Indonesia, in the south of Borneo, of D. ornatus in the northeast of Indi...
The populations of Gnorimus bartelsi Faldermann, 1835 from the mountains in the western Krasnodar Region show clear-cut inclinations of the coloration of the elytra to melanism. Only exceptionally does such melanism occur in populations from the other regions of the Caucasus. All localities known to the author are listed and a distribution map is g...
A new species, Trypogeus guangxiensis Miroshnikov et Liu, sp.n., is described from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, China. Thus, the fauna of that country currently contains 4 species of the genus Trypogeus Lacordaire, 1869. A key to the Chinese species is given, based on male characters.
The present paper is devoted to a detailed analysis and critiques of the most doubtful, disputed or erroneous assertions, as well as of the diverse mythical data which M.L. Danilevsky’s monograph, “Longicorn beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycoidea) of Russia and adjacent countres. Part 1”, abounds with. The real publication date of this book is found to...
The book is the official document containing the data on species and subspecies of animals protected in the territory of the Republic of Crimea. It contains 370 species: 7 species of annelids, 12 species of mollusks, 217 species of arthropods and 134 species of chordates. The description of each species is accompanied by a color illustration and a...
All four species of the genus Anaglyptus Mulsant, 1839 currently known from Vietnam are discussed. Two of them, namely, A. kabakovi sp.n. and A. trocolii sp.n., are described as new. A key to the Vietnamese species and pictures of the holotypes of the new taxa are given.
A new species, Mimosebasmiafedoren- koi sp.n., is described from Vietnam. Its differences not only from M.purpurea Pic, 1946, but also from members of the genus Gibbocerambyx Pic, 1923 are listed. The structural features ofM. fedorenkoi sp.n. notably extend the diagnosis of the genus Mimosebasmia Pic, 1946 and increase the morphological similarity...
The present paper opens a series of additions to a recently published review of the Oriental genus Clytellus Westwood, 1853. The following species are described as new: C. waterstradti sp. n., C. periculosus sp. n. (both Brunei), C. sarawakiensis sp. n. (Malaysia, Sarawak), C. hefferni sp. n., C. jenisi sp. n. (both Malaysia, Sabah), C. lingafelter...
A new species, Clytellus philippinus Miroshnikov et Tichý, sp. n. resembling C. tatianae Miroshnikov, 2014, is described from the southern part of the Philippine Archipelago. New localities are given for C. shibatai Hayashi, 1977, C. malayanus Hayashi, 1977 and C. mononychus Holzschuh, 2003, thereby representing the southernmost record of the forme...
Three species of the genus Anaglyptus Mulsant, 1839 from China are described as new: A. elegantulus sp. n., A. tichyi sp. n. (both from Yunnan) and A. arcanus sp. n. (from Tibet). Morphological features of A. annulicornis (Pic, 1933) are re-examined, as well as its new localities are given. The previously unknown male of A. flavus Viktora, Tichý et...
The first exact locality is given for Paraclytus
thibetanus (Pic, 1914), a species hitherto known only from
the holotype from “Thibet”. Because both specimens this
new record is based on are somewhat different from the
holotype, they may actually belong to a separate form of
an unknown status. Paraclytus excellens Miroshnikov et
Lin, sp. n., which...
A review of the Caucasian species of the
genus Purpuricenus Dejean, 1821 is given. The detailed

maps) known for the author, brief accounts of biology
and ecology are indicated for each species. The extensive
studied by author collection material is presented. A new
and omitted in recently p...
The distribution of 18 longicorn-beetle species of the Caucasus Isthmus and adjacent regions is discussed. New records of
some species are given enlarging their known distribution area in the Caucasus (in some cases, even beyond its limits). The
modern knowledge of the distribution of Chlorophorus herbstii, Leptorhabdium caucasicum, and Brachyta ca...
