THE LONGHORN BEETLES (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE)
OF NATIONAL PARK «KREMENETSKI HORY»

The fauna of the longhorn beetles of ecoregion of Kremenetski Hory and the eponymous
National Park was studied very poorly. In the most recent catalogue of Cerambycidae of
Western Podillya it was listed only 13 species for the ecoregion. Including other sources, to
date, it was known 17 species of the longhorn beetles. In the current study we identified 59
species of the longhorn beetles, 42 of which are reported for the first time for National Park
«Kremenetski Hory» and the ecoregion in general. Under our proposed prediction the
Cerambycidae species richness should reach 100-120 species. We also presented result of
quantitative study of the longhorn beetles within different types of ecosystems of National Park
«Kremenetski Hory». We revealed that 10 species are the most abundant on the studied
territory.
Key words: Cerambycidae, Kremenetski Hory, Western Podillya.

National Park "Kremenetski Hory" (hereinafter NP "Kremenetski Hory") is one of the
youngest and smallest in Ukraine. It has been created in 2009 with the total area 69.5 km . It

is situated on the northernmost margin of Podillya Upland within two subbiomes of wooded
steppes and mixed forests. These cause the mosaic distribution of different ecosystems,
including forests, steppes, meadows and swamps [6]. To date, the longhorn beetles' fauna of
NP "Kremenetski Hory" was studied very poorly [2]. A very little data was published in a
few papers, including the most recent catalogue of the longhorn beetles of Western Podillya
[10]. To the current study, it was known only 17 species of Cerambycidae in fauna of NP
"Kremenetski Hory". That constituted 12% of the regional fauna.
The earliest data on Cerambycidae from the territory of the modern NP "Kremenetski
Hory" we found in collection of Octavian Duda (1939) that preserved in Kremenets Museum
of Regional History. There are only 6 species of the longhorn beetles, including Prionus
coriarius Linnaeus, 1758, Stenurella melanura Linnaeus, 1758, Obrium cantharinum
Linnaeus, 1767, Chlorophorus herbsti Brahm, 1790, Dorcadion equestre (Laxmann, 1770),
Acanthocinus aedilis Linnaeus, 1758 [10]. Another species, Tetrops praeusta Linnaeus, 1758
was mentioned in the paper of Ivan Zahaykevych from the studied area [7, 10]. Several
species are preserved in collection of Nature Reserve "Medobory", collected in their
Kremenets division (now is the part of NP "Kremenetski Hory") by scientific staff Yaroslav
Kapelyukh in 1999. These include Allosterna tabacicolor De Geer, 1775, Paracorymbia
maculicornis (De Geer, 1775), Pseudovadonia livida Fabricius, 1776, Spondilis buprestoides
Linnaeus, 1758, Lieopus nebulosus Linnaeus, 1758, Pogonocherus hispidulus Piller et
Mitterpacher, 1783 [4, 10]. Finely, five additional species were listed in monography of
Shtohryn and colleagues [6]. Their list includes the next species Cerambyx cerdo cerdo
(Linnaeus, 1758), Leptura maculata (Poda, 1761), Prionus coriarius (Linnaeus, 1758),
Stictoleptura rubra (Linnaeus, 1758) and Strangalina attenuata (Linnaeus, 1758).
In the current study we listed 59 species of the longhorn beetles, 42 species of which
were recorded for the first time from NP "Kremenetski Hory".
