NEW LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) FROM SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO

Scientific analysis of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) collected on the mountain Fruška Gora from 2000 to 2004 has shown the presence of six new species for the fauna of Serbia and Montenegro. In addition to these, four species were new for the fauna of Serbia. UDC 595.768.1(497.11+497.16)


INTRODUCTION
About 92 genera with 216 species of the family Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) have been recorded in Serbia and Montenegro (Radović et al. 1995).In the past, few scientists have published data on this group (Adamović, 1965;Mikšić, 1971;Mikšić andGeorgijević, 1971, 1973;Mikšić and Korpič, 1985).From 1980 the group was only randomly researched.Entomological field trips in the period 2000-2004 on the mountain Fruška Gora yielded some species new for the fauna of Serbia and Montenegro.

MATERIAL AND METHODS
Several field trips on the mountain Fruška Gora in 2000-2004 resulted in the collection of 47 species of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) from four subfamilies and 19 tribes.This number includes six species new for the fauna of Serbia and Montenegro.Distribution analysis showed the presence of four species known for the Montenegrin fauna, but new for Serbia.Development is unadequately known.Larvae feed in broadleaf trees (Quercus, Pistacia).There are records of the presence of this species in Bulgaria, Macedonia, and Greece.From the similar Chlorophorus hungaricus Seidlitz, 1891 (which is a common species in our country), the present species differs in having recumbent hairs covering the elytra and pronotum.

Subfamily: Lamiinae
Tribe: Agapanthini Agapanthia osmanlis (Reiche, 1858) (New data: Paragovo, 22.06.2004, 1 specimen) Development of this species is unknown.It has been noticed only that adults can be seen in May.It is probably a "hard to get" species, like most Agapanthia sp.There must be a reason why there are so few known facts about its development.It has been recorded from Turkey, the Middle East, Romania (Althoffand Danilevski, 1997), and Bulgaria (Kanta-rdjiewa-Minkowa, 1934).Differs from Agapanthia violacea (Fabricius, 1775) in having distinct ring-like bases of white pubescence on antennal segments 4 to 12 that are visible macroscopically (Fig. 2).

Tribe: Acanthoderini
Oplosia fennica (Paykull, 1800) (New data: Iriški Venac, 01.06.2003, 1 specimen) Develops in broadleaf trees like Tilia, Fagus, Corylus, Sorbus, Prunus avium, and Juglans.Larvae feed under and in bark of dead fallen branches with diameter of 4-15 cm.Adults emerge in May-July.They can be found on host-plants and on branches lying on the ground.This species is part of the European fauna and is found in forests of Central and Northern Europe.It can be found in Italy, France, and Slovenia, but rarely.Develops in broadleaf trees ( Fraxinus, Quercus, Juglans, Betula, Fagus, Castanea, Populis, Tilia, etc.).Occasionally it appears in Abies.Larvae first feed under the bark, later in wood of dead branches.Life cycle 1-2 years.Adults emerge in April-August on host-plants,  Development is unknown.It appears on Quercus sp.only.Adults emerge in June-July.This species is found in Southeast Europe, mainly in Greece.Apart from Greece, it has been found up to now only in Montenegro.A fairly large species (14-16.5 mm) it is hard to find.From Acanthoderes clavipes (Schrank, 1781), the present species differs in having a contrasting black spot on the base of the shoulders on each elytron (Fig. 3).

Tribe: Agapanthini
Agapanthia maculicornis (Gyllenhal, 1817) (New data: Fruška Gora, 2000-2003, 1 female) Development unknown.Kovács(1997) found larvae in the stem of Campanula glomerata.This species lives in the Pontic hydrographic region.Literature data on its diversity are random.In our country, it is known from Montenegro.For six of the ten species mentioned in this paper, development is unknown or inadequately known.The reason for their rarity might be because they are "hard to find".
