NEW LONGHORN BEETLES ( COLEOPTERA : CERAMBYCIDAE ) FROM SERBIA

The most recent data (I l i ć , 2005) indicate the presence of 245 longhorn beetle species (coleoptera: cerambycidae) in Serbia. Not included in the mentioned publication, the following five species should be added to the list: Cortodera discolor Fairmaire, 1866; Stenopterus similatus Holzschuh, 1979; Chlorophorus aegyptiacus (Fabricius, 1775); Agapanthia osmanlis (Reiche, 1858); Agapanthia maculicornis (Gyllenhal, 1817) (P i l and S t o j a n o v i ć in press). A total number of 250 species are presently known for the Serbian longhorn beetle fauna.

udc 597.76(497.11)Since the 1980's, longhorn beetles (coleoptera, cerambycidae) have been only randomly researched in Serbia.From earlier years, there are very detailed publications on this insect group (A d a m o v i ć , 1965; M i k š i ć and G e o r g i j e v i ć , 1971; 1973; M i k š i ć and K o r p i č , 1985).

On several field trips on Mt.Fruška Gora during the period of May 4th -June 14th 2005, 30 species of longhorn beetles (coleoptera: cerambycidae) from three subfamilies and 11 tribes were collected.This number contains five species new for the fauna of Serbia.The key of B e n s e (1995) was used for identification.The given species develops in broadleaf trees (especially in Betula, also in Populus tremula).Larvae feed in white rotten wood of variable diameter, often in dead standing trees or tall stumps.The life-cycle lasts at least 3 years, with pupation in spring in the wood.Adults emerge in June to August, on flowers.This is the only species of the genus Lepturalia in Europe, and it can be considered rare in our country.(Fabricius, 1787) (New data: Mt.Fruška Gora, Lake Popovica, 3 June 2005, one male) This species inhabits central and Southeast Europe.It has been found in all countries near Serbia, so the present record is expected.development of this species is inadequately known.Larvae are to date known from fallen spruce (Picea) cones.

Cortodera femorata
They feed in the central region of the cone or occasionally in the base of old scales.The life cycle probably last two years, and pupation very likely occurs in the soil.Adults emerge in April-July, on flowers.The given species differs from the similar Cortodera humeralis (Schaller, 1783) in having only sparse pubescence on the pronotum and head, with glabrous median line, and sparse pubescence on the outer border of the eye and base of the antennae.The presence of an outer edge of the elytral apex extended into a sharp spine, distinguishes this species from all others of the genus Anaglyptus known in Europe.Lamiinae Agapanthiini 5. Agapanthia schurmanni (Sama, 1978) (New data: Mt.Fruška Gora, Popovica Lake, 3 June 2005, one male) development is unknown.Adults emerge from May to June.
The species has been previously registered only from Greece (A l t h o f f and D a n i l e v s k i , 1977).
For Mt. Fruška Gora, where all these specimens were collected, 78 species were known up to now.Our two months of collecting cerambycid beetles yielded 30 species.

3.
Vadonia hirsuta (daniel and daniel,1891) (New data: Mt.Fruška Gora, Lake Popovica, 3 June 2005, one male) development of this species is unknown.Vadonia hirsuta is often considered an individual variation of Vadonia unipunctata (P a n i n and S a v u l e s c u , 1961) until now, this species was known from only nine individuals from the Dobruja region, on which basis the species was described.cerambycinae Anaglyptini 4. Anaglyptus gibbosus (Fabricius, 1787) (New data: Mt.Fruška Gora, Osovlje, 4 May 2005, one male)This is a Mediterranean species.It develops on broadleaf trees(Acer, Quercus, Sorbus, Ilex, Sambucus, Ficus, Robinia,  Fagus, Buxus, Prunus, Ulmus, Corylus, Carpinus, Paliurus).Larvae feed in dry wood.Adults emerge in April to June, on flowers.
