Book Description
In terms of quantity and breadth, the Smithsonian Institution’s collection of longhorned woodboring beetles is one of the most important in the world. The effort to establish and describe this collection began as early as 1889, when the Smithsonian hired its first coleopterist (who was also only the second salaried entomologist at the Institution). In the years that followed, the collection grew thanks to the work of not only Smithsonian and U.S. Department of Agriculture entomologists, but also passionate amateur coleopterists who collected thousands of beetle specimens as they traveled the world for their professional occupations and then donated their unique collections to the Smithsonian. By 1957, the collection included nearly 200,000 specimens from around the world. Longhorned Woodboring Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae and Disteniidae): Primary Types of the Smithsonian Institution is the first complete catalog of Coleoptera primary types housed at the Smithsonian and includes stunning full-color images of each type specimen. The product of more than a decade of curatorial research and care, it reaffirms the superior international status of this truly remarkable collection.

Photographic Guide to Longhorned Beetles of Bolivia
Author: Steven Wayne Lingafelter
Publisher: Smithsonian Institution
ISBN: 1944466061
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1042
Book Description
With loss of habitats throughout the world occurring at a staggering rate, it is critical to document what is being lost. This book strives to do that by focusing on longhorned woodboring beetles in Bolivia. Wholesale clearing of large tracts of land kills everything or forces species to move quickly to other areas, disrupting the balance of the ecosystem. This book will help people discover and appreciate some of the amazing diversity of life that exists in the undeveloped and/or remote natural areas of Bolivia. Nearly 1,900 species of longhorned woodboring beetles (Disteniidae, Vesperidae, and Cerambycidae) are known from Bolivia (with more than 200 species yet to be determined). This work features 500 of them, representing the breadth of morphological evolution.

A Field Guide of the Longhorned Beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) from Argentina
Author: Osvaldo R. Di Iorio
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Cerambycidae
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
The Argentinian fauna longhorn beetle fauna has about 850 species of which 720 are illustrated in this fine book, the first of its kind. Many species are shown in several specimens to illustrate the colour variation. Also, if male and female are different, both sexes are illustrated. All specimens are shown in natural size. Many of the species covered by the book has a wider distribution in South America and occur in Paraguay, Uruguay, South Brazil, Chile and Bolivia. The book reports of 30 species new to the Argentinian fauna, as well as 4 species new to science. The book will be an important identification tool for both amateurs as well as professional entomologists. The author is the leading authority on Argentinian Cerambycidae.

Australian Longhorn Beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Volume 3
Author: Roger de Keyzer
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 1486317324
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 735
Book Description
Longhorn beetles — Cerambycidae — are one of the most easily recognised groups of beetles, a cosmopolitan family that encompasses more than 33,000 species in 5,200 genera worldwide. Out of the 117 beetle families occurring in Australia, Cerambycidae is the sixth largest, comprising more than 1,400 species classified in 300 genera. Virtually all Cerambycidae feed on living or dead plant tissue and play a significant role in all terrestrial environments. Larvae often utilise damaged or dead trees for their development, and through feeding on rotten wood, form an important element of the saproxylic fauna, speeding nutrient and energy circulation in these habitats. Longhorn beetles can cause serious damage by sometimes feeding on and eventually killing living forest or orchard trees. Many species are listed as quarantine pests because of their destructive role to the timber industry, such as the European house borer introduced into Western Australia. This third volume in the series on Australian longhorn beetles extends to include the taxonomy of genera and species of the subfamily Prioninae of the Australo-Pacific Region. Seven tribes, 50 genera and 166 species are included. All genera and most species are diagnosed, described, illustrated and included in keys to their identification.
