The paper presented a checlist of publising species of Vietnam longhorn beetle fauna of the subfamily Cerambycinae with local and world distribution provided. Of the total of 259 cerambycid species belonging to 88 genera and 18 tribes, seven diverse tribes are Clytini (74 species), Callichromini (41 species), Cerambycini (35 species), Molorchini (19 species), Callidiopini (18 species), Methiini (13 species) and Cleomenini (11 species). | TAP CHI SINH HOC 2014, 36(1): 12-38 A preliminary list of the subfamily Cerambycinae DOI: A PRELIMINARY LIST OF THE SUBFAMILY Cerambycinae (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) OF VIETNAM Cao Thi Quynh Nga*, Khuat Dang Long Institute of Ecology and Biological Resouces, VAST, *cqnga119@ ABSTRACT: Most species of the longhorned beetles are known to damage living trees and attack dead trees or fallen logs and are of economic importance because their woodboring larvae are destructive to plants and freshly cut logs.

INTRODUCTION The Cerambycinae is a subfamily belonging to the family Cerambycidae, the largest family of Coleoptera. The cerambycids are commonly known as longhorned beetles, longicorns, capricorns, round-headed borers, timber beetles or goat beetles. The representatives of the family Cerambicidae have many varieties of shape, coloration and ornamentation as well as with the body size from mm to 200 mm. The subfamily comprises about 20,000 species occur through almost every part of the world, . from sea level to montane sites as high as 4,200 m elevation. Most species of the longhorned beetles are known to damage living trees and attack dead trees or fallen logs and are of economic importance because their woodboring larvae are destructive to plants and freshly cut logs [8]. Taxonomic interest in the family has been fairly consistent in the past century, however, taxonomic research on the longhorn .
