Abstract

New data on the occurrence of the 70 species of longhorn beetles from the area of the Eastern Beskid Mountains including the Low Beskids (56 species) are presented. The state of knowledge about Cerambycidae of the Eastern Beskid Mountains, Low Beskids, Western Beskid Mountains and Bieszczady Mountains is summarised. New localities of some rarely seen species as: Pachyta quadrimaculata (Linnaeus 1758), Stenocorus meridianus (Linnaeus, 1758), Evodinus clathratus (Fabricius, 1793), Anoplodera rufipes (Schaller, 1783), A. sexguttata (Fabricius, 1775), Ropalopus macropus (Germar, 1824), Pogonocherus hispidus (Linnaeus, 1758), Phytoecia cylindrica (Linnaeus 1758) and Ph. nigricornis (Fabricius 1782) are given. Four species, P. quadrimaculata, Leptura annularis Fabricius, 1801, Pyrrhidium sanguineum (Linnaeus, 1758) and Pogonocherus fasciculatus (DeGeer, 1775), are recorded for the first time from the area of the Low Beskids

Highlights

The longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae) is one of the group of beetles (Coleoptera) that is richest in species with approximately 35 000 described species (Švácha & Lawrence 2014), and 192 of these species occur in Poland (Gutowski et al 2012)
The present study provides some new data on many species of cerambycids in the part of the Eastern Beskid Mountains, where detailed research have not been conducted so far
Poland referring our data to Eastern Beskid Mountains, but additionaly we distinguished in it the area of the Low Beskids

Introduction

The longhorn beetle family (Cerambycidae) is one of the group of beetles (Coleoptera) that is richest in species with approximately 35 000 described species (Švácha & Lawrence 2014), and 192 of these species occur in Poland (Gutowski et al 2012). The present study provides some new data on many species of cerambycids in the part of the Eastern Beskid Mountains, where detailed research have not been conducted so far. Poland referring our data to Eastern Beskid Mountains, but additionaly we distinguished in it the area of the Low Beskids.
