Cerambycidae (Insecta, Coleoptera) from the Caatinga biome: checklist, new records and new species from Sergipe state (Brazil)

ABSTRACT

Based on recently collected material and specialised catalogues, we list 52 species of Cerambycidae occurring in the state of Sergipe, Brazil. A total of 25 specimens of Cerambycidae were collected in Propriá municipality, supported by the Semiarid Biodiversity Research Programme (PPBio /Semiarido). Fifteen species were identified in 14 genera, 10 tribes and two subfamilies. Eight species are new records for Sergipe. A new species of the genus Oreodera Audinet-Serville (Lamiinae, Acrocinini) is described and illustrated. Additionally, we describe the morphology of the male genitalia of Oreodera exigua Monné & Fragoso, 1988. The number of species known from Sergipe increases from 42 to 52 species.
