Abstract | ||||
Taxonomical study was carried out on certain Cerambycid insects at Al-Jabal Al-Akhder governorate (Libya) for two years from July 2007 to October 2009. Twelve insects of the family were collected. The studied beetles were classified into three subfamilies: Prioninae, Lamiinae and Cerambycinae. The taxonomical characters of the collected species were indicated and illustrated.Two species were found belonging to Prioninae,one to Lamiinae and nine to Cerambycinae. Two of the species have been recorded for the first time in Libya, being Rhesus serricollis and Stromatium unicolor. Keys to subfamilies, genera and species were constructed. | ||||
