Study On Taxonomy And Faunal Of Lamiini In China

Lamiini is one of the biggest tribes in Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) and many species are serious pests in agriculture and foresty. The dissertation introduces the economic significance and the study progress on Lamiini. Based on the shortage of study on Lamiini of China, the dissertation put emphasis on the external morphology, hind wing veinations and the fauna of Lamiini in China. Results are the followings:1. Study on external morphology of Lamiini adultThe dissertation recordes 57 genera and 246 species and subspecies of Lamiini distributed in our country and describes 51 genera and 171 species and subspecies adult. 9 genera and 23 species are firstly described in Chinese and classification histories of 31 species are added. Keys for genera and species are given in this thesis too.2. Study on venations of hind wingThe nomenature of Polyphaga in Coleoptera given by Kukalova and Lawrence in 1993 is suitable to name hind wing venations of tribe Lamiini. The dissertation carefully describes the hind wing venations and takes photos to all studied hind wings. 28 genera 65 species are described in the dissertation and 4 genera and 10 species are described firstly. Hind wing venation is stable in level tribe classification but not stable in level genus and species classification. So, hind wing venations can only be used to distinguish look-like species but not to establish the system of tribe Lamiini.3. The fauna of Lamiini in China I studied the fauna of Lamiini in China, give the list of tribe Lamiini distributing in China and known the constitute and distribution of species. Up to now, there are 57 genera and 246 species and subspecies in China. But many species of Lamiini are not found and these distributions of known species should be completed and justified. Lamiini distributes in the Palearctic Realm and the Oriental Realm, but mainly in the Oriental Realm (more than 85%). Lamiini distributes in the 7 zoogeographical regions of China.
