Abstract	The present study entitled “The Lamiinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) of <br/>southern India” was carried out at College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2015 to <br/>2020 with the objectives of collection and identification of the flat faced long-horned <br/>beetles (Lamiinae) of southern India, preparation of descriptions and illustrated key to <br/>species, with emphasis on characters of male and female genitalia and documentation <br/>of host plants in all possible cases. The specimens were collected using different <br/>methods viz., hand picking, sweep netting, light traps, jackfruit twig trap and rearing <br/>from the infected plant parts. The specimens were processed following the standard <br/>procedures. Similarly, dissections, photographs and illustrations were prepared. <br/>Details of the specimens examined and the measurements of different body parts <br/>including that of male and female genitalia are included under each species. All the <br/>species included in the present study were identified using available literature. Taxon <br/>descriptions were prepared by considering all the morphological variations and also <br/>including the variations of male and female genitalia wherever available. A checklist <br/>of the species and illustrated key to the genera documented in the present study are <br/>also provided. <br/>Present study has generated taxonomic and ecological information on the <br/>Lamiinae fauna of south India. Sixty six species belonging to 41 genera of south <br/>Indian Lamiinae were studied. Detailed descriptions and illustrations, including that <br/>of male and female genitalia, are provided. Species-wise distribution and host plant <br/>data are furnished wherever available. Ecological information is also provided for a <br/>few of the species. <br/>Descriptions of two new species, Miccolamia ferruginea and Notomulciber <br/>viraktamathi were published. These include species descriptions, key to Indian <br/>species of the respective genera and a discussion on the need for redefinition of the <br/>respective subgenera. Description of the male of Monochamus shembaganurensis,<br/>with additional information on its distribution, was published. Four new species were <br/>recognised, one each belonging to the genera Eunidia and Falsoropica and two of <br/>Glenea. <br/>New distributional and ecological data are furnished for Acalolepta tenuipes, <br/>Agelasta quadrimaculata, Apomecyna saltator, Apriona trilineata, Batocera <br/>rufomaculata, Coptops aedificator, Epepeotes uncinatus, Eucomatocera vittata, <br/>Eunidia bicolor, Eunidia variegata, Eunidia simplex, Exocentrus (Camptomyne)<br/>vittatus, Hirtaeschopalaea albolineata, Macrochenus tigrinus, Nupserha bicolor, <br/>Olenecamptus bilobus, Phelipara indica, Sthenias grisator, Sybra praeusta, Thylactus <br/>angularis, Zotalemimon posticatum and Zotalemimon procerum. <br/>Among the south Indian Lamiinae, Apomecyna saltator, Batocera <br/>rufomaculata, Celosterna scabrator, Cleonaria bicolor, Coptops aedificator, Glenea <br/>multiguttata, Nupserha bicolor, Olenecamptus bilobus, Sthenias grisator and Sybra <br/>praeusta are well known pestiferous species. <br/>There are many Lamiinae still awaiting discovery and formal naming. Hence, <br/>studies encompassing the different ecozones of the country are sure to add several <br/>new species of flat faced longhorned beetles to the Indian fauna. Many species are <br/>known only by original descriptions based on a single specimen. Hence, there is an <br/>urgent need for intensive studies to generate information on their natural history. <br/>Future studies should concentrate on revising and updating the taxonomy of Lamiinae <br/>of economic importance so as to develop effective IPM programmes. To promote and <br/>facilitate studies on biodiversity and conservation of the native fauna of longhorned <br/>beetles, there is an urgent need to digitalize the type specimens of Indian <br/>Cerambycidae deposited in several European natural history museums besides <br/>developing a database with interactive keys for easy identification. The future <br/>taxonomic works on Indian Cerambycidae should also aim for Phylogeny of Indian <br/>fauna based on integrative taxonomy.
