Three species have never before been recorded from Albania: Stenopterus atricornis Pic, Oberea (Amaurostoma) taygetana Pic and Phytoecia (Pilemia) angusterufonotata Pic. The latter two were hitherto considered endemic for Greece. The warranty of inclusion of some further species of Cerambycidae in the Albanian Red List has been suggested in the discussion. Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, occurrence, new records, IUCN Red List, Albania Introduction The fauna of Albanian longhorn beetles is relatively well known. In one of the earlier publications (Heyrovský 1967), 155 species have been listed. The next comprehensive work (Rapuzzi & Sama 2012) mentioned 32 species from the country. In the last years, the study on this family has been intensified, with records of several new species for the country: nine in 2014 (Kovács et al. 2014, Siering 2014, Siering & Beier 2014), ten in 2015 (Kovács 2015, Siering & Shumka 2015, Siering et al. 2015) and two in 2016 (Siering et al. 2016). Therefore, the Albanian cerambycid fauna is currently known to include 205 species. Besides studies on the distribution, some taxonomical suggestions have been published, e.g. the inclusion of the endemic Dorcadion albanicum Heyrovský, 1934 as a subspecies of Dorcadion veluchense Pic, 1903 (Pesarini & Sabbadini 2013). The present article provides supplementary information on the diversity and distribution of Albanian Cerambycidae. Materials and Methods Field work was performed between 22 May and 7 June 2016. The beetles were looked for on flowers and leaves of herbaceous plants; on flowers, leaves and branches of low trees; on trunks of living and dead trees on the ground. Additional collecting of some species from herbaceous plants was done by sweep-netting. The following abbreviations have been used for the collector names: Adam Byk [AB], Tomasz Gazurek [TG] and Sebastian Tylkowski [ST]. The remaining authors have determined or verified the identification of the beetles. The collected specimens are preserved in the private collections of the authors. Nomenclature follows the Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera (CPC) (Löbl & Smetana 2010) and newer publication by Danilevsky (2017), summarising the taxonomic changes introduced after the appearance of CPC. The Red List of Albanian Beetles (Striniqilaçej et al. 2011) uses the following threat categories: CR 179

Plewa R., P. Górski, T. Gazurek, S. Tylkowski, M. Szewczyk & A. Byk Critically Endangered, EN Endangered, VU Vulnerable, LR Near Threatened category. Results Our studies have resulted in finding of 51 cerambycid species of four subfamilies: Lepturinae (13 species), Spondylidinae (1), Cerambycinae (18) and Lamiinae (19).

Previously known Europe only from Greece (both from the Peloponnesos and continental part: Sláma & Slámová 1996, Plewa et al. 2011, Dascălu et al. 2012). It has been recorded also from Turkey, Lebanon and Syria (Adlbauer 1988, Sama 1995, Turgut & Özdikmen 2010, Ali & Rapuzzi 2016). It has been placed on the Red List of European Saproxylic Beetles as VU Vulnerable (Nieto & Alexander 2010). In Albania the species has been collected on flowers, found together with specimens of the related S. rufus geniculatus. The record from Albania shifts the distribution limit of S. atricornis markedly northwards.

Plewa R., P. Górski, T. Gazurek, S. Tylkowski, M. Szewczyk & A. Byk on the Peloponnesos (Holzschuh 1984, Plewa et al. 2011). Our record from Albania proves its wider distribution on the Balkan Peninsula. Oligophagous species associated with plants of the genus Anchusa L. (Boraginaceae). Discussion The intensification of studies has resulted in the discovery of more than 50 species of longhorn beetles new to Albania. We have found 24.5% of those currently recorded and additionally three new to the country. Thus, the number of known Albanian species presently amounts to 208. To compare with some neighbouring areas, in Macedonia 171 cerambycid species have been found so far (Plewa et al. 2015), in Serbia 265 (Ilić & Ćurčić 2015), while in Greece more than 400 species (Dascălu et al. 2012). Two of the newly discovered species, O. (A.) taygetana Pic and Ph. (P.) angusterufonotata, were considered as endemic to Greece: their occurrence in Albania points to wider natural distribution than the previously supposed. The Red List of Albanian Beetles includes five cerambycid species in various threat categories: Cerambyx cerdo L. (EN), Aromia moschata (L.) (VU), Rosalia alpina (L.) (CR), Purpuricenus kaehleri kaehleri (L.) (VU) and Morimus asper funereus Muls. (LR, nt) (Striniqilaçej et al. 2011, Albanian... 2013). Our studies confirmed the occurrence of one of them, P. kaehleri kaehleri. All of the abovementioned taxa deserve the attributed status, the more so that most of them have been placed on the European Red List of Saproxylic Beetles (Nieto & Alexander 2010) or on the list of species considered primaeval forest relicts in Central European countries (Müller et al. 2005). One of these species is A. moschata, widely distributed in Europe and in a part of Asia. In the past, in times of increased interest in fast growing trees, it was considered a dangerous pest of willow plantations (Strojny 1960). The actual state of the knowledge suggests placement of further species on the Red List. Tragosoma depsarium (L.), only recently (Foit 2007) recorded from Albania, is generally known to be very rare but locally occurs throughout its distributional area, preferring seminatural habitats with sufficient quantity of accumulated dead coniferous wood and may serve as an example for such species. Several other Albanian longhorn beetles, Leptorhabdium illyricum (Kraatz, 1870), Stictoleptura cordigera illyrica (Müller, 1948), Saphanus piceus ganglbaueri Brancsik, 1886 or Ropalopus ungaricus (Herbst, 1784), also warrant consideration for being recognised as important from conservational point of view.
