Key words: Coleoptera, Cerambycidae, Republic of Mordovia, Penza Region, Russia. Abstract: The findings of five Purpuricenus globulicollis specimens Dejean, 1839 (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae) in the Republic of Mordovia and Penza Region (Central Russia) are described. This is the first time this species is indicated for the Republic of Mordovia. Including these findings, the fauna of Cerambycidae has 110 species in Mordovia.
Introduction
Purpuricenus globulicollis Dejean, 1839 is known in Spain, France, Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Slovakia, Switzerland, Albania, Macedonia, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Serbia, Montenegro, Hungary, Slovenia (Bruneau de Miré, 1990; Slâma, 2006; Catalogue of Palaearctic Coleoptera, 2010; Hittaro, Anchez, 2012; Plewa et al., 2015). It lives in some regions of the European part of Russia, east to the Urals and Western Siberia and was found in Northern Kazakhstan (Danilevsky et al., 2007; Polumordvinov and Glebov, 2010). P. globulicollis is everywhere considered rare or very rare. It is known that there are 7 scattered localities in Spain and 11 in Italy; there is only one known habitat in Switzerland. In France, the species was considered mythical for a long time, but the use of crown traps made it possible to clarify its distribution (Allemand and Aberlenc, 1991). We faced the same situation: the use of fermental crown traps made it possible to study better the fauna and biotopes of Cerambycidae in Central Russia. P. globulicollis is rare in the Republic of Mordovia and its adjacent regions, while the similar
species P. kaehleri (Linnaeus, 1758) is much more common. In 2018, the use of crown traps helped discover new six P. kaehleri habitats (83 traps were installed) in the Republic of Mordovia (Ruchin and Egorov, 2018a, 2018b). However, no P. globulicollis samples were captured. 241 traps were installed in 2019 in the Republic of Mordovia, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza and Ulyanovsk regions. Using these traps, we were able to account for more than 120 P. kaehleri specimens from 32 localities. Also, new habitats of P. globulicollis were found.
Capture was carried out using simple fermental crown traps. Each trap consisted of a plastic five-liter container with a window cut into it on one side at a distance of 10 cm from the bottom. A rope with an attached trap was thrown onto a tree branch at a height of 8 to 10 m from the soil surface with the help of a load. In each case, fermenting beer, various mixtures of dry wine with honey, jam or sugar were used as bait (Egorov, Ivanov, 2018).
Results
Purpuricenus globulicollis Dejean in Mulsant, 1839
Totally 5 specimens were collected in 3 localities:
1) Penza Region, Mokshan district, Zasechnoe village (53°34'06.6"N, 44°42'07.4"E), 15-29.6.2019 - 2 specimens. This is a fairly large forest of overgrown origin. In the first tier, there were Quercus robur, Tilia cordata, Populus termula; the shrub layer consisted of Corylus avellana L., Euonymus verrucosa Scop., Lonicera xylosteum L., Padus avium Mill., Sorbus aucuparia L. The trap was located on the edge of the forest on Quercus robur.
2) Republic of Mordovia, Zubova Polyana district, Krym-Groza village (54°14'18.3"N, 42°30'46.4"E), 18.VI-3.VII.2019 -2 specimens. The trap was located on the edge of a mixed forest, growing along the banks of a stream. The first tier consisted of Betula pendula and Pinus sylvestris with a significant inclusion of Quercus robur and Populus termula. Nearby there were the thickets of Quercus robur with Betula pendula. In the second tier, there were Sorbus aucuparia and Tilia cordata. The trap was on Quercus robur.
3) Republic of Mordovia, Temnikov district, Mordovia State Nature Reserve, quarter 330 (54°46'37.1"N 43°11'01.1"E),
10-19.6.2019 - 1 specimen. The first tier was represented by Pinus sylvestris (100%). The second tier was destroyed by a highlevel ground fire. However, the first tier was preserved. The shrub layer was represented by the dense undergrowth of Betula pendula and Populus tremula, as well as Chamaecytissus ruthenicus, Genista tinctoria, Rosa majalis.
According to published data, the fauna of Cerambycidae of the Republic of Mordovia included 109 species (Ruchin, Egorov, 2018c, 2018d, 2018e; Egorov et al., 2019; Ruchin, Egorov, 2019). Nowadays, considering the finds of P. globulicollis, 110 species of Cerambycidae are reliably found in Mordovia
