Cerambycidae of Northern Asia. Volume 2, Cerambycinae, Part 1

摘要

This monograph presents keys for the identification of the tribes, genera, and species of the subfamily Cerambycinae (tribes Hesperophanini, Cerambycini, Callidiopini, Graciliini, Obriini, Nathriini, Molorchini, Dilusini, Callichromini, Rosalini, and Callidini). The morphology, biology, characteristics of development, host relationships, and other specific features are described and the role of each species in the conservation of nature assessed. The system of ecological concomitants of cerambycid beetles inhabiting widely separated regions is analyzed and the evolutionary processes in the sub-family Cerambycinae of northern Asia during the post-Teritiary period are traced. This monograph is intended for entomologists, ecologists, and workers engaged in the control of forest pests. It can also be used as a field guide by biology students in universities, forestry and educational institutes, and specialized technical schools.
