Longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of the Tucuman-Bolivian forest in the Tariquía Flora and Fauna National Reserve, southern Bolivian Andes, with notes on ecoregion endemism and conservation

Abstract The results of a survey of Cerambycidae in subhumid Tucuman Bolivian forest (TBF) in the Tariquia Reserve, southern Bolivian Andes, are presented. In nine days collecting with beating sheets and a light trap, we obtained records for 93 species of Cerambycidae, including 50 species of Cerambycinae, 42 species of Lamiinae and one species of Prioninae. Ten species are reported for the first time from Bolivia. Two taxa could only be determined to genus and might represent undescribed species. Forty-six percent of the collected species also occur in southeastern Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. Twenty-three percent of the collected species occur in areas including countries of tropical and subtropical South America and 11% in tropical South America. Fourteen (15%) of the collected species are possibly endemic to Tucuman Bolivian forest. Including the two taxa that may represent new species and seven species that have been reported in the literature from TBF but not collected during our study, ...
