ABSTRACT: Wood boring is carried out by various insect groups either to obtain food or for the protection
of their eggs, larvae and pupae. Among the wood boring insects of the freshly felled logs, the long-horned
beetles or roundhead borers belonging to the order Coleoptera and family Cerambycidae are found in large
varieties and abundance in the tropics and are also very successful in colonising in the hills of North-East
India. Present communication reports an update of 562 species under 211 genera of 56 tribes belonging to 5
subfamilies of the family Cerambycidae from 8 states of North-East India i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam,
Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. The present study also reveals that longhorn
beetles of North-East India are mostly enriched with Oriental species (365) followed by Palearctic (174),
Australasian (10) and Afrotropical species (5) and rest from the other zoogeographical regions.
Keywords: Longhorn beetle, Cerambycidae; North-East India.
INTRODUCTION
The North-East India is popularly known as “Gateway
of Indian insect fauna”. Therefore, this area is one of
the richest in biodiversity with high in fauna species
endemism. But, meagre and scattered information on
the taxonomic diversity and distribution of longhorn
beetles of this highly sensitive zone of India are
available. No holistic approach has also been made so
far to update the scientific nomenclature of
cerambycids in the light of modern classification.
Taxonomic knowledge of these beetles till date is based
on their stray collections only from the eight states of
North-East India. Keeping in view an attempt has been
made to explore published literature, compiled and
updated information on the reported species of long
horn beetles from the eight states of North-East India
i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura.
The family Cerambycidae of the Order
Coleoptera is currently classified under the superfamily
Chrysomeloidea, along with the families Vesperidae
and Distenidae (Hunt et al., 2007; Szeoke and Hegyi,
2002). The taxonomy in Cerambycidae sensu lato is not
well established (Hunt et al. 2007; Lawrence and
Newton, 1995; Napp 1994; Özdikmen 2006; Özdikmen
2008; Sykorova 2008). Of them, only 8 subfamilies are
reported from India and 5 subfamilies from North-East
India. The most pioneering taxonomic and biological
investigations on cerambycid beetles in India were
initiated in the twentieth century. The voluminous
works on the cerambycid fauna in North-East India
were mostly done by Gahan (1895, 1906) and Breuning
(1936, 1938, 1958, 1965). Hope (1839, 1843, 1845b)
made some valuable contributions to the cerambycid
fauna of Assam valley. Afterwards, Kapur (1954);
Sengupta and Sengupta (1981); Basak and Biswas
(1985); Mukhopadhyay and Biswas (2000a, 2000b);
Saha and Ray Chaudhuri (2000); Mukhopadhyay and
Halder (2003, 2004); Singh et al. (2010);
Mukhopadhyay (2011); Saha et al. (2013); Mitra and
Majumder (2014); Mitra et al. (2016a, 2016b, 2016c,
2016d) and Thakur et al. (2012) also enriched the
cerambycid fauna of North-East India. Several more
species have been reported from India and adjacent
countries by Holzschuh (1999, 2003); Ghate et al.
(2012); Agarwala and Bhattacharjee (2012); Ghate and
Mitra (2013) and Gressitt et al. (1970) where they have
included the species from the states of North-East India.
This present communication is a compilation of
information from earlier published works and reports
and updated listing of 562 species under 211 genera of
56 tribes belonging to 5 subfamilies of the family
Cerambycidae from 8 states of North-East India.
Among them, the subfamily Lamiinae shares maximum
species (389) and least by the subfamily Spondylinae
(1).

MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Study area
The North-East India, (22°N and 29°5’N latitude and
88°E and 97°30’E longitude) spread over 2,62,379 km2
and occupies 7.7% of India’s total geographical area,
represents the transition zone between the Indian, Indo-
Malayan and Indo-Chinese biogeographic regions and a
meeting place of the Himalayan Mountains and
Peninsular India. The region is made up of eight states
i.e. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur,
Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura and is
endowed with a wide range of physiography and eco-
climatic conditions (Fig. 1).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
This present communication reports 562 species under
211 genera belonging to 56 tribes of 5 subfamilies of
the family Cerambycidae from North-East Indian states
(Table 1). Among them, the subfamily Lamiinae is
more diverse with 389 species, 136 genera and 24 tribes
followed by Cerambycinae with 139 species, 55 genera
and 23 tribes, Prioninae with 27 species 13 genera and
6 tribes, Lepturinae with 6 species, 6 genera and 2
tribes and Spondylidinae with 1 species 1 genus and 1
tribe (Fig. 2). Considering the cerambycid beetles
diversity in eight states of North-East India, Sikkim
represented by 74.42 percent of total reported species,
followed by Arunachal Pradesh (24.33%), Assam
(18.11%), Meghalaya (14.56%), Manipur (8.33%),
Tripura (4.61%), Nagaland (3.37%) and Mizoram
(1.6%) (Fig. 3). Among the reported species of NE
India, only 3 species, namely, Batocera rufomaculata,
(De Geer, 1775), Aristobia reticulator (Fabricious,
1781) and Pseudonemophas versteegii (Ritsema, 1881)
are very common and reported from all the eight states.
A lone species, Thysia wallichi Hope, 1831 is only
found to be distributed in 6 states. 19 species are found
to be distributed in 5 states, 15 species in 4 states, 30
species in 3 states and 70 species in 2 states. But the
majority species (424 species) are found to be
distributed in single state only (Table 1).

Manipur is one of the seven states of North-East India,
lies at a latitude of 23°83′ N to 25°68′ N and a
longitude of 93°03′ E to 94°78′ E. The total area
covered by the state is 22,347 km². A total of 47 species
under 37 genera of 21 tribes belonging to 4 subfamilies
of the family Cerambycidae were reported from
Manipur state (Fig. 1). With 55% of the total species,
unlike others, the Cerambycinae is the predominant
subfamily in the Manipur state, followed by Lamiinae
(26%), Prioninae (15%) and Lepturinae (4%) (Fig. 4).

Mizoram is a landlocked state in North-East India lies in
between 21°56'N to 24°31'N, and 92°16'E to 93°26'E.
Present communication reports 9 species of 9 genera
under 7 tribes of 2 subfamilies of the family
Cerambycidae from this North-East Indian state of
Mizoram (Fig. 1). Of them, the subfamily Lamiinae
represents 67% species and the subfamily Cerambycinae
represents only 33% species (Fig. 5). Tripura, one of the
border states of North-Eastern India, lies between
22°55´–24°32´N & 91°021´–92°016´E. The state has an
area of 10,492km2with 53.62% of the area under forest
cover.

Cerambycidae from this North-East Indian state (Fig.
1). Of them, the subfamily Lamiinae shares 65%
species, followed by Cerambycinae (31%) and
Prioninae (4%) (Fig. 6). Nagaland is one of the smallest
states of North-Eastern India. This state has an area of
16,579 square kilometres and about one-sixth of
Nagaland is covered by tropical and sub-tropical
evergreen forests. A total of 19 species of 17 genera
belonging to 13 tribes under 3 subfamilies are reported
from Nagaland (Fig. 1). Of them, the subfamily
Lamiinae shares the maximum number of species
(58%), followed by Cerambycinae (37%) and Prioninae
(5%) (Fig. 7).
Meghalaya is a North-Eastern state of India
bounded by the state of Assam and country Bangladesh.
The state has an area of 22,429 sq. km. The forests of
Meghalaya can be broadly grouped into tropical,
subtropical and temperate types. Altogether, 80 species
under 53 genera of 28 tribes under 3 subfamilies are
reported from the state of Meghalaya (Fig. 1). The
subfamily Lamiinae is the predominant group
representing 71% species, followed by Cerambycinae
(20%) and Prioninae (9%) (Fig. 8).

The state of Arunachal Pradesh lies between lat. 26°28´
and 29°30´ N and long. 91°20´ and 97°30´ E and
covering an area of 83,743 km2. About 94% of its area
is covered by forests, thus making forestry as an
important land use. Altogether, 136 species under 83
genera of 33 tribes under 4 subfamilies are reported
from the state of Arunachal Pradesh (Fig. 1). As usual,
the Lamiinae is the predominant subfamily with 64%
species, followed by Cerambycinae (20%), Prioninae
(15%) and Spondylinae (1%) (Fig. 9).
Sikkim is a state in North-East India, bordered
by Bhutan, Tibet and Nepal and covering an area of
7,096 km², lies at 27° 00' 46'' and 28° 07' 48'' North
latitude and 88° 00' 58'' and 88° 55' 25'' East longitude.
Altogether, 424 species under 174 genera of 50 tribes
under 4 subfamilies are reported from the state of
Sikkim (Fig. 1). Of them, Lamiinae (70%),
Cerambycinae (25%), Prioninae (4%) and Lepturinae
(1%) (Fig. 10). Assam formerly the Assam Province
(British India) is situated between 20° N and 28° N
latitude and 90° E and 96° E longitude. The state is
surrounded by Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Mizoram
and Meghalaya. It has an area of over 78,438 sq. km.
Altogether, 102 species under 69 genera of 34 tribes
under 3 subfamilies are reported from the state of
Assam. Among the 102 species reported from Assam
(Fig. 1), Lamiinae shares 50% and the subfamilies
Cerambycinae and Prioninae are 42% and 8%
respectively (Fig. 11).

CONCLUSION
The present study reveals that North-East India is one
of the diverse biogeographic zones in India in relation
to the faunal composition of Longhorn beetles and
mostly enriched with Oriental species (365). 174
species found from these states which are distributed up
to Palearctic region. Only 5 species have extended their
distribution up to Australasian and 10 up to
Afrotropical regions. This review work serves as
baseline data of the cerambycid fauna of North-East
India. More surveys will definitely bring many more
new species or new records of cerambycid beetles from
this area in future.
