Abstract
This paper presents the first faunistic review of the species composition and distribution of the subfamilies Necydalinae Latreille, 1832 and Cerambycinae Latreille, 1802 in Lithuania and in the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. A total of 2481 records of 4053 specimens collected (observed) since 1892 have been analyzed. The subfamily Necydalinae is represented by a single genus and species whereas the subfamily Cerambycinae is confirmed to be represented by nine tribes, 18 genera, and 31 species within the study area. Previously published records of Axinopalpis gracilis (Krynicki), Chlorophorus figuratus (Scopoli), Gracilia minuta (Fabricius), Necydalis ulmi (Chevrolat), Rhaphuma gracilipes (Faldermann), and Ropalopus femoratus (Linnaeus) were not confirmed in the studied area. The general distribution, some features of the biology and ecology of 43 species recorded from the studied area and neighbouring territories are briefly discussed. The territorial distributions of 33 species are mapped.
