Journal Title: ZooNotes - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
The complex of longhorn beetles in Bulgarian and North Macedonian parts of Belasitsa Mt. was studied by literature data and original biological materials. As a result, 110 taxa from six subfamilies were established, as follows: Prioninae (3 species), Lepturinae (33 species and subspecies), Necydalinae (1 species), Spondylidinae (1 subspecies), Cerambycinae (35 species and subspecies) and Lamiinae (37 species and subspecies). Eight taxa, Anastrangalia dubia dubia, Grammoptera (Grammoptera) ruficornis ruficornis, Vadonia dojranensis mahri, Oxymirus cursor, Rhagium (Megarhagium) mordax, Molorchus (Molorchus) umbellatarum umbellatarum, Stenopterus flavicornis, and Phytoecia (Phytoecia) pustulata pustulata, were first reported for Belasitsa Mt. The longhorn beetles belong to 21 zoogeographical categories and 7 complexes. The European complex occupies a dominant position (38.18%), followed by the Mediterranean (19.09%) and Eurosiberian (13.64) complexes. The European-Iranoturanian and Palaearctic taxa are almost equally presented in the total complex – 10.00% and 9.09%, respecilely. The cerambycid endemics in Belasitsa Mt. (8.18%) have a highest share compared to endemics in other mountains in Bulgaria.
