New and interesting records of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in some Bulgarian Mountains

Longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Bulgarian Mountains were studied during the period 2000-2004. As a result, many species were collected, twenty-eight records of which belonging to 24 genera and 4 subfamilies(Lepturinae, Spondylidinae, Cerambycinae, and Lamiinae) are most interesting. Twenty-three cerambycids are new records for the Strandzha Mts., the Vitosha Mts., the Pirin Mts., the Lyulin Mts., the Sakar Mts., the Slavianka Mts., the Rila Mts., and the Balkan Range. Eleven longhorn beetles are local and very rare in Bulgaria. Nine species were reared from host plants.
