A checklist and areography of Buprestidae, Vesperidae and Cerambycidae (Coleoptera) in Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park, Italy

Abstract

The species of Buprestidae, Vesperidae and Cerambycidae in Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park in Italy were studied based on literature data and original material. As a result, a list of 128 taxa was assembled: 49 buprestids, one vesperid and 78 cerambycids. These taxa belong to 21 areographical categories combined in seven complexes. The European complex occupies a dominant position (39.1%), followed by the Palaearctic (24.2%), Mediterranean (14.1%), Eurosiberian (10.2%), European- Iranoturanian (6.3%), Endemic (3.9%), and Cosmopolitan and Holarctic (2.3%) complexes. The Park has four endemic and one subendemic taxa.
