A contribution to the knowledge of the longicorn beetles (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) of the Caucasus: 6. Notes on the distribution of some species with new data of their biology

Abstract

The distribution of 18 longicorn-beetle species of the Caucasus Isthmus and adjacent regions is discussed. New records of some species are given enlarging their known distribution area in the Caucasus (in some cases, even beyond its limits). The modern knowledge of the distribution of Chlorophorus herbstii, Leptorhabdium caucasicum, and Brachyta caucasica does not confirm occurrence of the first species in the Caucasus and the others, in northern Iran. Stenocorus meridianus occurs only in the northernmost plains of the Ciscaucasia, bordering on Rostov Province. New data on the biology of two little known Caucasian species are given.
